Crime rate is something to consider -Pontiac sits at 249.8 per 100K. The unemployment rate is 2.2%, which is pretty low. Poverty rate is 7.1%, which is pretty low. Downtown has improved a lot in recent years. The city has invested a lot in new development. The school system varies a lot by neighborhood. The parks and outdoor areas are a huge plus.
