Poverty rate is 7.1%, which is pretty low. Rent is about $1,582/month for a decent place. The suburbs are where most families end up. Cost of living is definitely rising, but still manageable. Am I overthinking this? Thanks!

The food scene here is average. Tons of great BBQ places. it's improved dramatically in recent years.

Real talk - this place is not for everyone, and I think that's OK.
If you value outdoor recreation, you'll love it. The food scene is genuinely surprisingly good and I've found it's improved dramatically in recent years. My neighborhood (Downtown) is reasonable and I feel safe walking around at night.
But if you're coming from Miami, be prepared for the culture shock. nightlife is completely different here. And Limited public transit options.
My advice would be to visit for at least a week before committing. Rent first, don't buy. And explore multiple neighborhoods - they're all different.
