Job hunting in Salem -tips?

First post here. Poverty rate is 19.7%, which is higher than I expected. Rent is about $771/month for a decent place. Honestly, I think it's a great place if you know where to look. Property taxes are high but you get good services. Let me know your thoughts. The parks and outdoor areas are a huge plus. Honestly, I think it's a great place if you know where to look.

Depends on what you're looking for honestly. If you want walkability, then yeah this place is great. But if food scene matters to you, might want to look elsewhere.
