Anyone else feel this way? Been living here since 2022. The unemployment rate is 5.2%, which is about average. Poverty rate is 15.6%, which is higher than I expected. It's a a small town city with about 18,805 people. Median household income is $54,590, which feels on the lower side for the area. It's changing fast -some good, some not so much. Traffic can be rough during rush hour, no sugarcoating that. What are your go-to spots? There's a growing tech scene which is exciting. The food scene here is surprisingly good. The city has invested a lot in new development. Night life is decent if you know the right spots. Property taxes are high but you get good services. Property taxes are high but you get good services. The school system varies a lot by neighborhood. It's not perfect, but the community is solid. Honestly, I think it's a great place if you know where to look.
