Rent since 2014
ACS 5-year median gross rent for Minneapolis city. Up 61% since 2014. Fulton is 69% above the 2024 city median.
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.

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.
