$1,855/mo median rent

Rent runs on the higher side, at $1,855 a month median. Whether that premium makes sense usually comes down to the local job market and what it pays. Home prices are steep, with a median around $596,900. Renting first to get a feel for the city before buying is often the more practical route.

4.1% unemployment

Unemployment here is 4.1%, close to the national average of 4.3%.

261 violent crimes per 100k

Pretty safe, all things considered. Violent crime sits below the national average, nothing alarming, just ordinary city-life awareness.

20 min average commute

Commutes are reasonable, averaging 19.6 minutes. Nothing heroic, and there's still time left over for a life after work. 8 in 10 workers drive to work; 14% work from home.

3 hospitals

There are 3 Medicare-certified hospitals inside city limits. They average 3.3 out of 5 on Medicare's star rating.

52% bachelor's degree or higher

This is a highly educated city, with over half the adult population holding a college degree. That tends to shape the job market and the broader culture, and it's a solid indicator of a strong professional scene.
