Hello, Rent is about $1,923/month for a decent place. Poverty rate is 11.6%, which is around average. Cost of living is definitely rising, but still manageable. Honestly, I think it's a great place if you know where to look. Downtown has improved a lot in recent years. Would love some local perspective. There's a real sense of community in certain neighborhoods. Traffic can be rough during rush hour, no sugarcoating that. The school system varies a lot by neighborhood. The parks and outdoor areas are a huge plus. The suburbs are where most families end up. It's not perfect, but the community is solid. The weather takes some getting used to. Cost of living is definitely rising, but still manageable. Public transit needs a lot of work honestly. The city has invested a lot in new development. I'd say it's better for families than young singles. The suburbs are where most families end up.
