Random thought, Household incomes average around $75,868 in Waverly. Rent is about $1,125/month for a decent place. Poverty rate is 6.9%, which is pretty low. The school system varies a lot by neighborhood. Honestly, I think it's a great place if you know where to look. I'd say it's better for families than young singles. It's not perfect, but the community is solid.

Pros:
- Low crime in most areas
- Low taxes
- Good healthcare facilities
- Good internet infrastructure
- Active local events

Cons:
- Hot summers
- Limited cultural events
- Homelessness issues downtown
