I'm a 30-year-old sales rep and Average temperature is around 73°F, so it's warm year-round. Crime rate is something to consider — Peoria sits at 233.1 per 100K. Poverty rate is 6.0%, which is pretty low. It's changing fast — some good, some not so much. People here are genuinely friendly, not just surface-level. Thoughts? There's a real sense of community in certain neighborhoods. Night life is decent if you know the right spots.
