That places it #6 of 11 neighborhoods in Cartersville. At 25% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out. The closest comparables inside the same city are North Highland and Buena Vista.
Its 2 tracts score within 0.1 points of one another, so the area figure travels well to individual addresses. Annual rent works out to 23% of average household income of $71,372.
