Cost of living

That is 17% of median household income — under the 30% HUD cost-burden line. A household at this area’s median income ($167K) could “afford” about $4,185 a month at 30% of gross pay.

13% of households rent. Median home value is $645,576.

HUD treats 30% of gross household income as the cost-burden line. We do not split ACS median rent into 1-bed vs 2-bed — that table is all occupied rental units. Method.

Crime is MPD 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.

50th & France on the Edina line, Craftsman bungalows under elms, and the lowest violent rate in this set. Mpls With Love calls it stable to the point of sleepy, with teardown-and-rebuild starting to change the character. Quiet streets, high incomes, a bus ride from downtown.

Lake Harriet is the weekend. The commercial life is 50th & France, which feels like a suburb because it is on the city’s edge. Weight safety and family. Excitement is not the product. That is the product.

Compiled from Zillow neighborhood guides, 5280 Magazine, Chicago and San Francisco resident guides, Mpls With Love, Eastside LA reporting, and local coverage, 2025–2026. Editorial — not part of the fit score.
