Should I move to Joshua Tree or stay in Orlando?

Longtime lurker here, I've been here for 11 years and Crime rate is something to consider -Joshua Tree sits at 353.3 per 100K. Rent is about $1,191/month for a decent place. The parks and outdoor areas are a huge plus. Cost of living is definitely rising, but still manageable.

Is Joshua Tree still affordable?

OK so Median household income is $64,036, which feels about average for the area. Downtown has improved a lot in recent years. What do you all think?
