Hello, Crime rate is something to consider -Farmington sits at 664.6 per 100K. With a population of 46,339, Farmington is a smaller city. The unemployment rate is 3.2%, which is pretty low. The school system varies a lot by neighborhood. Public transit needs a lot of work honestly. Traffic can be rough during rush hour, no sugarcoating that. I'd say it's better for families than young singles.

Pros:
- Good job market
- Good schools
- Walkable downtown

Cons:
- Lack of diversity
- Few job opportunities in some fields
- Far from major airports
- Chain restaurants dominate
