Not sure if this has been asked before, but I'm a college student here and The unemployment rate is 5.0%, which is about average. There's a growing tech scene which is exciting. Public transit needs a lot of work honestly. Does this match your experience? There's a real sense of community in certain neighborhoods. The school system varies a lot by neighborhood. Cost of living is definitely rising, but still manageable.

I've lived in South for about 14 years now, so I can give you a pretty detailed perspective.
I wouldn't want to live anywhere else right now. When I first moved here from Phoenix, I was surprised by dating scene. It took some adjustment but now I wouldn't trade it.
A few things worth knowing:
- Strong job market in several industries
- Good internet infrastructure
- The outdoor recreation scene is excellent
The downsides:
- Urban sprawl is real
- Not very walkable outside downtown
Overall I'd rate it 6/10 for retirees. Hope this helps!.
