$1,846/mo median rent

Rent runs on the higher side, at $1,846 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 $513,600. Renting first to get a feel for the city before buying is often the more practical route.

3.5% unemployment

Unemployment here is 3.5%, a little below the national average of 4.3%.

91 violent crimes per 100k

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

26 min average commute

Commutes run about average, at 25.5 minutes. Fine day to day, but it adds up over a year, and where someone lives relative to where they work starts to matter. 7 in 10 workers drive to work; 30% work from home.

1 hospital

There's one Medicare-certified hospital inside city limits, rated 3.0 out of 5 by Medicare. Hospitals in neighboring towns aren't counted here.

56% 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.
