So, Poverty rate is 17.5%, which is higher than I expected. Crime rate is something to consider -Lake Worth Beach sits at 200.3 per 100K. It's a a smaller city city with about 42,650 people. You can expect to pay around $1,439 for rent here. People here are genuinely friendly, not just surface-level. It's changing fast -some good, some not so much. Any advice would be great. Cheers. The city has invested a lot in new development. Cost of living is definitely rising, but still manageable. Cost of living is definitely rising, but still manageable. It's changing fast -some good, some not so much. Public transit needs a lot of work honestly. There's a real sense of community in certain neighborhoods. Traffic can be rough during rush hour, no sugarcoating that.

I'd say the biggest thing people don't talk about is traffic. I genuinely enjoy living here. Worth doing your research before committing.

As someone who grew up here, it's improved dramatically in recent years. A lot has changed in the past few years though. weather used to be much competitive but now it's average.
