Curious what people think. Poverty rate is 34.3%, which is higher than I expected. The unemployment rate is 0.5%, which is pretty low. Downtown has improved a lot in recent years. The food scene here is surprisingly good. People here are genuinely friendly, not just surface-level.

Not gonna lie, the first year was rough. But once you find your neighborhood and your people, it's been a really good experience overall. No regrets on my end..

As someone who grew up here, it's been a really good experience overall. A lot has changed in the past few years though. job market used to be much pricey but now it's challenging.

From a safety perspective, it really depends on the area. Some neighborhoods are better than expected, others not so much. Do your research on specific streets.
