Not really a snow town. With winters averaging 36°F, Aloha sits in the mild-cold band where snowflakes appear occasionally and everything melts within a day. Most years see one storm worth talking about.

The headline number is reassuring. Aloha's reported incident rate of about 1,400 per 100,000 is comfortably below the US norm of around 3,500 per 100k. Specific neighborhoods always vary, but the broader picture is on the safer side.
More expensive than average — by enough to plan around. Aloha's composite index is 113 versus 100 for the US, with rent and home prices driving most of the gap. Salaries in higher-paying industries usually move together, but the math still tightens for everyone else.
Aloha scores 71/100 on Walk Score, putting it in the "very walkable" tier. Transit Score is 40 out of 100. It's the kind of city where you don't think of going to the grocery store as "going" to the grocery store.
As a rule of thumb, plan on about $79,037 to live in Aloha the way a $70,000 earner lives in a typical US city. The math gets less forgiving the lower you go below that. Median rent in Aloha runs about $1,749/mo — keeping housing under 30% of gross income points to a similar floor on what you'd want to earn.
