Things to consider when moving cities

Even if you don't have kids. The better the school system, usually the safer the area.

Does the area have the type of business and job growth in the industries I am interested in?

Local, State, and Property. For example, I found out that Florida, while having no state taxes, has double the property taxes of the state I currently live in. I would save money on Taxes by moving there, but it isn't as much as it seems, assuming you own your home.

What do you get for your money? Taxes factor into this, of course.

Of those around you. And the healthcare available to you.

Depends what you like.

No one wants to live in a high crime area.

Corona virus responses changed where people want to live. Abortion rules are changing where people want to live. Marijuana, Alcohol, and Tobacco rules are changing where people want to live. Another reason I'm considering Colorado. The democratic Governor went against his party on the Rona Response. I don't want an abortion and I don't use drugs, but I don't want someone telling me what I can and cannot do.

Could move for both reasons or it's just a temporary play.

What's best for you and your family? Should be #1.
