Crime rate is something to consider -Richmond sits at 748.0 per 100K. Poverty rate is 12.2%, which is around average. Rent is about $734/month for a decent place. Median household income is $58,906, which feels about average for the area. The weather takes some getting used to. It's not perfect, but the community is solid. The suburbs are where most families end up. Worth the trade-offs? The parks and outdoor areas are a huge plus. Night life is decent if you know the right spots. Cost of living is definitely rising, but still manageable. The food scene here is surprisingly good. Honestly, I think it's a great place if you know where to look.
