What's the economy, housing market, crime and schools like? Are penguins hunted to extinction? Google says there's a Target

Several major sporting goods stores along with that target. Decent restaurants but not a ton of them. Lots of breweries in the area. Nice variety of terrain and social settings in the greater Hills. 5+ hours away from any major cities, for what that's worth to you.
Crime is low; anyone who's lived in a major metro knows there's nothing happening here. It's meth heads being crazy and kids looting unlocked cars, with the occasional serious crime once in a while.
Schools are OK, probably better in one of the smaller adjacent towns. Like everywhere, they get worse every year.
For housing I'd be looking at Hot Springs or Belle Fourche. Bit of a commute depending on the nature of the job, but it'll still be faster than going anywhere in NY lol.
Economy is good. Lots of people adapting to circumstances, being productive and working hard to keep things moving.
Winter is coming.
