Cost of living reality check -Linden
Random thought, I relocated for work and Crime rate is something to consider -Linden sits at 373.3 per 100K. Median household income is $91,036, which feels pretty solid for the area. With a population of 43,614, Linden is a smaller city. Homes are going for about $387,200 on average. Poverty rate is 7.0%, which is pretty low. Night life is decent if you know the right spots. Public transit needs a lot of work honestly. The weather takes some getting used to.
Pros:
- Low taxes
- Active local events
- Good airport connections
Cons:
- Hot summers
- Limited nightlife
- Sprawl everywhere
- High property taxes
- Few job opportunities in some fields
