Grayson best-worst Jan 9, 2025

Hey, My family moved here when I was a kid. The median home value here is around $284,100, which seems about average. Rent is about $805/month for a decent place. Poverty rate is 9.8%, which is pretty low. The unemployment rate is 0.3%, which is pretty low. The suburbs are where most families end up. The food scene here is surprisingly good. Downtown has improved a lot in recent years.

Pros:
- Good job market
- Low crime in most areas
- Low taxes
- Walkable downtown
- Good internet infrastructure

Cons:
- Not very walkable
- Few job opportunities in some fields
- Boring for young people
