Working in Poway -salaries realistic?

Been meaning to ask this. I'm a teacher here and The unemployment rate is 3.3%, which is pretty low. Household incomes average around $143,825 in Poway. Rent is about $2,261/month for a decent place. Poverty rate is 2.7%, which is pretty low. Median household income is $143,825, which feels pretty solid for the area. The school system varies a lot by neighborhood. It's not perfect, but the community is solid. The parks and outdoor areas are a huge plus. Property taxes are high but you get good services. Honestly, I think it's a great place if you know where to look. I'd say it's better for families than young singles. It's a very car-dependent city, for better or worse. People here are genuinely friendly, not just surface-level. The weather takes some getting used to. Property taxes are high but you get good services. Downtown has improved a lot in recent years. The school system varies a lot by neighborhood. Honestly, I think it's a great place if you know where to look. The food scene here is surprisingly good. It's changing fast -some good, some not so much. Honestly, I think it's a great place if you know where to look. The school system varies a lot by neighborhood.

Came here for cost of living and stayed because there are trade-offs but the good outweighs the bad. The community vibe is honestly pretty good and I don't see that changing anytime soon.
