Hey everyone, Military spouse here. Crime rate is something to consider — Santa Ana sits at 435.5 per 100K. Household incomes average around $88,354 in Santa Ana. I'd say it's better for families than young singles. Cost of living is definitely rising, but still manageable. The school system varies a lot by neighborhood. Let me know your thoughts. Public transit needs a lot of work honestly. It's a very car-dependent city, for better or worse. The weather takes some getting used to. It's changing fast — some good, some not so much. Traffic can be rough during rush hour, no sugarcoating that. Night life is decent if you know the right spots.
