$1,827/mo median rent

Rent runs on the higher side, at $1,827 a month median. Whether that premium makes sense usually comes down to the local job market and what it pays. Home prices run above average, with a median around $454,600. Buyers should expect to stretch their budget here.

5.0% unemployment

Unemployment here is 5.0%, somewhat above the national average of 4.3%. Lining up work before the move is the safer route.

380 violent crimes per 100k

Crime runs about typical for a city this size. Some neighborhoods are safer than others, and one overall rate doesn't tell the whole story, so a neighborhood-level look matters more than the headline stat.

28 min average commute

Commutes run about average, at 28 minutes. Fine day to day, but it adds up over a year, and where someone lives relative to where they work starts to matter. 8 in 10 workers drive to work; 17% work from home.

24% bachelor's degree or higher

College degree attainment runs below average at 24%. That tends to reflect a more trade and working-class economy, which can be great or limiting depending on the industry.
