Thanks for the correct information. I wonder even if the student body is sometimes a burden on the county, they must spend their money there and contribute somehow. Is Durham a "real college" town, so to speak?

Not really. Duke is the biggest employer but the town itself is pretty big and most people aren't connected to Duke. It doesn't have much of a downtown either and has a lot of neighborhoods that really aren't safe. The murder rate is pretty bad and they usually have a lot of gang problems.
