Hey, The unemployment rate is 2.5%, which is pretty low. Average temperature is around 51--F, so expect cold winters. Homes are going for about $448,200 on average. Median household income is $73,318, which feels about average for the area. Poverty rate is 10.6%, which is around average. Honestly, I think it's a great place if you know where to look. There's a real sense of community in certain neighborhoods. The school system varies a lot by neighborhood. Property taxes are high but you get good services. Traffic can be rough during rush hour, no sugarcoating that.
Pros:
- Affordable cost of living
- Good schools
- Walkable downtown
- Good airport connections
Cons:
- Cold winters
- Limited dining options
- Few job opportunities in some fields
