Curious what people think. Crime rate is something to consider -Florence-Graham sits at 692.5 per 100K. Median household income is $61,216, which feels about average for the area. Poverty rate is 17.8%, which is higher than I expected. Average temperature is around 65--F, so the weather is moderate. Night life is decent if you know the right spots. It's not perfect, but the community is solid. Traffic can be rough during rush hour, no sugarcoating that. It's a very car-dependent city, for better or worse.

Pros:
- Affordable cost of living
- Lots of new development
- Active local events

Cons:
- Traffic can be terrible
- Limited nightlife
- Sprawl everywhere
- Boring for young people
- Poor road conditions
