The unemployment rate is 4.2%, which is about average. It's a a smaller city city with about 48,039 people. Poverty rate is 6.5%, which is pretty low. I'd say it's better for families than young singles. Public transit needs a lot of work honestly. The suburbs are where most families end up.

- Good internet infrastructure
Cons:
- Rising rent prices
- Limited nightlife
- Mosquitoes and humidity
