$1,742/mo median rent

Rent runs on the higher side, at $1,742 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 $530,400. Renting first to get a feel for the city before buying is often the more practical route.

4.3% county unemployment

Unemployment in Placer County is 4.3%, close to the national average of 4.3%. That's the county-wide rate; BLS doesn't measure a place this size on its own.

299 violent crimes per 100k, whole jurisdiction

North Auburn doesn't have its own police department, so there's no crime rate for it alone. The figures shown are for the Placer County Sheriff's Office jurisdiction as a whole, which runs close to the national average for violent crime and covers many communities. Individual neighborhoods can differ a lot from that overall rate.

27 min average commute

Commutes run about average, at 27.1 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; 18% work from home.

1 hospital

There's one Medicare-certified hospital inside city limits, rated 5.0 out of 5 by Medicare. Hospitals in neighboring towns aren't counted here.

25% bachelor's degree or higher

College degree attainment runs below average at 25%. That tends to reflect a more trade and working-class economy, which can be great or limiting depending on the industry.

1 public school inside the boundary

There is 1 public school inside the boundary and 2 private schools. The student-to-teacher ratio is 22:1, above the national average of 16:1.
