Is El Centro still affordable?
Crime rate is something to consider -El Centro sits at 322.8 per 100K. Am I wrong here? Thanks in advance!

Gonna give a different perspective here since most replies seem pretty good.
I've been here 9 years and there are trade-offs but the good outweighs the bad. The thing nobody mentions is weather. It's wild and it affects daily life more than you'd think.
That said, the cost of living is legit. And if you're into running, this place is better than expected.
Neighborhood matters A LOT here. The Springfield side vs the Meadowbrook side are basically different cities. Make sure you visit both before deciding.
Hope this helps!.

Renting here right now, paying about /mo for a 4-bedroom. it exceeded my expectations. Compared to Salt Lake City it's average.

From a safety perspective, it really depends on the area. Some neighborhoods are excellent, others not so much. Do your research on specific streets.
