Review of Arcata, California


Do not move here if you want to raise a family
Star Rating - 1/2/2021
Pros:
Nature hikes

Cons:
One of highest crime rates in the nation.
Opioid epidemic going on (you’ll regularly witness drug deals and ppl doing drugs)
No nightlife. All establishments close at around 8-9pm and the ones that stay open later are either gas stations/liquor stores/seedy bars.
Highest missing person and murder rates in the state.
Indifferent local government
