Hey everyone, Poverty rate is 12.5%, which is around average. It's a a smaller city city with about 31,795 people. The median home value here is around $137,200, which is actually reasonable. Rent is about $871/month for a decent place. With a population of 31,795, Rome is a smaller city. The food scene here is surprisingly good. There's a growing tech scene which is exciting. Night life is decent if you know the right spots. The suburbs are where most families end up.

Pros:
- Great weather
- Diverse community
- Good airport connections

Cons:
- Hot summers
- Limited dining options
- Chain restaurants dominate
- Homelessness issues downtown
- Not enough green space

The school system varies a lot by neighborhood. It's changing fast -some good, some not so much. The parks and outdoor areas are a huge plus. The suburbs are where most families end up.
