Terrible place to Live User Rating 0.5 rating By Total ( Aug 27, 2017) Lived there for one year and could not wait get out. Weather too hot in summer and too cold in winter. Fricking windy that shakes your house. Nuclear plants close by. Yes here they built Hiroshima bomb. Water not clean as the water has been contaminated with nuclear spillage. The ...Read More y say it is not but it is. I read in a wbsite but now three deleted the website. If you have kids please do not move here. Women teachers of one school all have breast cancer. Lots of Mormens live there with seven kids each family. No place to shop and eat. Every now and then they stop people to make sure they are not contaminated with nuclear stuff. It's a lonely town with nothing to do. People are asleep at seven p.m. Just boring and quiet. Don't move there even for job. Read Less

Mind you, our crime might be little compared to other cities, but its getting to be bad. Oh, those three different stand offs, all last week.
I giggle when it says Richland is pretty high on the livability scale. Read Less
