Is Taylor Creek a good place to live?

Some subjects shine; others lag. Its strongest subject is incomes: the median household earns $99K. Add health to its strengths (A−) — it is healthier than 80% of U.S. towns. Where it falls short is walkability. Most errands need a car: it is less walkable than 87% of U.S. towns. A typical home there costs about $334K, 4.1 years of the Cincinnati metro’s $81K median household income. Overall, that makes a B−, better than just over half of U.S. towns. That places it 593rd of 987 in Ohio.
