Poverty rate is 19.4%, which is higher than I expected. With a population of 26,222, Wasco is a smaller city. Median household income is $55,521, which feels about average for the area. You can expect to pay around $991 for rent here. I'd say it's better for families than young singles. There's a real sense of community in certain neighborhoods. The city has invested a lot in new development.

Pros:
- Nice parks and trails
- Good internet infrastructure
- Good airport connections

Cons:
- Traffic can be terrible
- Not very walkable
- Limited dining options
- Far from major airports
- Chain restaurants dominate

The weather takes some getting used to. Honestly, I think it's a great place if you know where to look. The food scene here is surprisingly good. The city has invested a lot in new development. There's a real sense of community in certain neighborhoods. There's a growing tech scene which is exciting. Traffic can be rough during rush hour, no sugarcoating that.
