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.

Scores on this page stay inside Atlanta. East Atlanta 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.
