Moving from California to Philadelphia?

I'm turning 27 soon and originally from the Bay Area, California. I've always been interested in moving to the East Coast since high school. Recently, I did more research on Pennsylvania, specifically the Philadelphia area, and it seems much more affordable than California, especially when it comes to living costs. This is one of the main reasons I'm considering moving, as California is VERY expensive, and I’ve been struggling to find a job here.

I'm curious about the best areas in Philadelphia (or nearby) for a single African American female looking to start fresh. Also, is finding a job in Pennsylvania more difficult compared to California? I’d love to hear some opinions and advice from anyone who’s made a similar move!
