Curious what people think. I relocated for work and Poverty rate is 11.6%, which is around average. Rent is about $1,800/month for a decent place. Crime rate is something to consider -Salem sits at 248.6 per 100K. Median household income is $85,137, which feels pretty solid for the area. Public transit needs a lot of work honestly. People here are genuinely friendly, not just surface-level. The suburbs are where most families end up. The food scene here is surprisingly good. There's a real sense of community in certain neighborhoods. There's a real sense of community in certain neighborhoods. The food scene here is surprisingly good. It's a very car-dependent city, for better or worse. The weather takes some getting used to.
