Hello, I grew up here but left for a while. With a population of 25,961, Florence is a smaller city. Homes are going for about $322,600 on average. The unemployment rate is 1.5%, which is pretty low. Median household income is $76,259, which feels about average for the area. Cost of living is definitely rising, but still manageable. Am I wrong here? The city has invested a lot in new development. Property taxes are high but you get good services. It's a very car-dependent city, for better or worse. People here are genuinely friendly, not just surface-level. It's a very car-dependent city, for better or worse. The parks and outdoor areas are a huge plus. It's a very car-dependent city, for better or worse. People here are genuinely friendly, not just surface-level. Public transit needs a lot of work honestly. The school system varies a lot by neighborhood. It's a very car-dependent city, for better or worse.
