Irving is underrated, change my mind
Crime rate is something to consider — Irving sits at 251.4 per 100K. Median household income is $79,641, which feels about average for the area. Poverty rate is 8.5%, which is pretty low. The unemployment rate is 3.1%, which is pretty low. It's a very car-dependent city, for better or worse. The food scene here is surprisingly good. The city has invested a lot in new development. Downtown has improved a lot in recent years.
Pros:
- Low taxes
- Lots of new development
- Active local events
Cons:
- Limited public transit
- Rising rent prices
- Limited nightlife
- Sprawl everywhere
- Mosquitoes and humidity
