The poverty rate is 12.6%, about the same as the state rate (12.6% against 12.6%).

Climate

The warmest month is Jul, averaging 82°F (27.9°C), and the coolest is Jan at 52°F (11.2°C). About 1,549 mm (61 inches) of precipitation falls in a year; Aug is the wettest month (177 mm) and Nov the driest (86 mm). These values come from NASA satellite-based climatology on a grid of about 50 km, so they describe the wider area, not a weather station in the city.
