Is Reno a good place to live?

The best of Reno’s subject grades is an A− for cost of living; the weakest is a C− for incomes. Reno’s median age is 56.1 years, above both Ohio’s towns (41.7 years) and U.S. towns (40.5 years). Most errands need a car: it is less walkable than 80% of U.S. towns. Only 44 of Ohio’s 1,718 towns score lower on history. Reno has fewer than 2,500 residents, so it gets subject grades but no overall grade.
