San Angelo.

$1,153/mo median rent

Cost of living works in this city's favor. Median rent sits around $1,153 a month, nothing that raises eyebrows. Solid value overall. Home prices here are genuinely accessible, with a median around $187,600. That kind of affordability is rare in today's market.

3.3% unemployment

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

287 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.

19 min average commute

Commutes are reasonable, averaging 19.2 minutes. Nothing heroic, and there's still time left over for a life after work. 9 in 10 workers drive to work; 9% 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.

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.

25 public schools inside the boundary

There are 25 public schools inside the boundary and 7 private schools. The student-to-teacher ratio is 16:1, close to the national average of 16:1. Smaller class sizes are generally a positive sign for a district.
