Hey folks, My family moved here when I was a kid. With a population of 103K, Wichita Falls is a mid-size city. Average temperature is around 68--F, so the weather is moderate. You can expect to pay around $978 for rent here. Crime rate is something to consider -Wichita Falls sits at 348.2 per 100K. People here are genuinely friendly, not just surface-level. The school system varies a lot by neighborhood. The parks and outdoor areas are a huge plus. Cheers. There's a real sense of community in certain neighborhoods. The school system varies a lot by neighborhood. The school system varies a lot by neighborhood. Public transit needs a lot of work honestly. Night life is decent if you know the right spots. I'd say it's better for families than young singles. It's not perfect, but the community is solid. The parks and outdoor areas are a huge plus. It's a very car-dependent city, for better or worse. Property taxes are high but you get good services. The school system varies a lot by neighborhood.
