Pro: Epic Systems' real world headquarters

Epic Systems' genuinely distinctive 1,670-acre campus employs more than 10,000 people in the Madison area, directly driving Verona's exceptional growth and its $119,606 median household income -- the highest of this project's four Madison-metro suburbs.

Pro: a top-15%-statewide school district

The Verona Area School District ranks in the top 15% of Wisconsin districts statewide, with a real 96% graduation rate at Verona Area High School.

Con: above-national-median home prices and taxes

Verona's home values ($420,400-$575,000+ depending on source) and effective property tax rate (1.68%-2.1%) both run above national norms.

Con: a real, disclosed senior-household income gap

Households led by someone 65 or older reported a notably lower median income (~$46,731) than Verona's citywide median ($119,606) -- a real, disclosed gap this record states honestly.
