First post here. I'm a teacher here and Poverty rate is 6.7%, which is pretty low. Crime rate is something to consider — Sioux Falls sits at 483.2 per 100K. The unemployment rate is 1.7%, which is pretty low. Average temperature is around 49°F, so expect cold winters. There's a real sense of community in certain neighborhoods. The weather takes some getting used to. The suburbs are where most families end up. Any advice would be great. I'd say it's better for families than young singles. The school system varies a lot by neighborhood.
