I'm a teacher here and Poverty rate is 9.1%, which is pretty low. The median home value here is around $424,700, which is pretty steep. It's a a smaller city city with about 90,669 people. The weather takes some getting used to. Public transit needs a lot of work honestly. Worth the trade-offs? The suburbs are where most families end up. It's a very car-dependent city, for better or worse. Public transit needs a lot of work honestly. Traffic can be rough during rush hour, no sugarcoating that. The city has invested a lot in new development. The school system varies a lot by neighborhood. People here are genuinely friendly, not just surface-level. Downtown has improved a lot in recent years. Cost of living is definitely rising, but still manageable. Honestly, I think it's a great place if you know where to look. Downtown has improved a lot in recent years. The suburbs are where most families end up.
