Alright, The unemployment rate is 2.4%, which is pretty low. Average temperature is around 48--F, so expect cold winters. Household incomes average around $109,934 in Durham. The suburbs are where most families end up. Worth the trade-offs? Traffic can be rough during rush hour, no sugarcoating that. The food scene here is surprisingly good. Property taxes are high but you get good services. Night life is decent if you know the right spots. It's changing fast -some good, some not so much. The food scene here is surprisingly good. People here are genuinely friendly, not just surface-level. The weather takes some getting used to. Honestly, I think it's a great place if you know where to look.
