First post here. Just moved here 10 months ago and Median household income is $66,711, which feels about average for the area. The unemployment rate is 4.2%, which is about average. Homes are going for about $896,500 on average. Poverty rate is 6.5%, which is pretty low. You can expect to pay around $1,906 for rent here. Downtown has improved a lot in recent years.
