$1,654/mo median rent

Rent runs on the higher side, at $1,654 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 $339,400. Buyers should expect to stretch their budget here.

3.3% unemployment

Unemployment here is 3.3%, a little below the national average of 4.3%.

223 violent crimes per 100k

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; 16% work from home.

1 hospital

There's one Medicare-certified hospital inside city limits, rated 4.0 out of 5 by Medicare. Hospitals in neighboring towns aren't counted here.
