Median household income is $82,635, which feels pretty solid for the area. The unemployment rate is 2.5%, which is pretty low. The food scene here is surprisingly good. I'd say it's better for families than young singles. The school system varies a lot by neighborhood. The suburbs are where most families end up.

OK so I've been meaning to write this for a while. I moved here 14 years ago from Salt Lake City and here's my honest breakdown:
Housing: The market is competitive but not impossible. We're paying /mo for a 3-bed in Old Town. It's better than expected for what you get.
Jobs: The market is growing right now, especially in manufacturing. If you're in retail you might struggle.
People: Generally tough. It took about 7 months to build a solid friend group.
Food: better than expected. Tons of options if you like Southern.
