Longtime lurker here, I work in marketing and Rent is about $1,675/month for a decent place. Poverty rate is 14.3%, which is around average. Homes are going for about $449,200 on average. Crime rate is something to consider -Lodi sits at 142.9 per 100K. The city has invested a lot in new development. Property taxes are high but you get good services. The suburbs are where most families end up. Property taxes are high but you get good services. The school system varies a lot by neighborhood. The suburbs are where most families end up.

Bought a house here in 2016 and I have mixed feelings honestly. Property values have gone down slightly since then.

Hot take but it was the best decision I ever made. I know a lot of people disagree but after 11 years here, that's my honest assessment.

Came here for family and stayed because the quality of life is solid. The job market is honestly pretty good and I don't see that changing anytime soon.

Public transit is average here. You'll probably need a car for most things. I have mixed feelings honestly.

Renting here right now, paying about /mo for a 1-bedroom. I have mixed feelings honestly. Compared to Atlanta it's pretty good.

I'd say the biggest thing people don't talk about is school system. it exceeded my expectations. Worth doing your research before committing.
