Overlapping 5-year ACS windows (B25064), not asking rent. Census does not publish a rent series for each official neighborhood, so the line is the city place. The dashed mark is this area’s ACS 2024 median.

HUD treats 30% of income as the cost-burden line. We do not split ACS rent into 1-bed vs 2-bed. Method.

Crime is APD Part I reports per 1,000 ACS residents — not a judgment of who lives here. Home and rent figures are ACS medians, not live MLS. Read the method.

On the ground

What it is like to live here, beyond the scores.

The official polygon is Cabbagetown. One tract, population 2,995. Property Part I is 2.7 per 1,000, the smallest rate in this set, from 8 reports. Violent is one report. Rent is $2,059. OSM counts 14 bars, so the night is the street, not the crime rate.

Scores on this page stay inside Atlanta. Cabbagetown is the official City Planning neighborhood; other names are searches, not extra polygons. School ratings are not in this snapshot. A neighbor on the schematic map is not a shared fence. APD Part I here is NIBRS homicide 09A, rape 11A–C, robbery 120, and aggravated assault 13A as violent, plus burglary 220, larceny 23A–H, and motor vehicle theft 240 as property. Arson and the other Part I rows outside that set are not in the rate. Police beats and NPU letters are not this map.
