Have you ever been curious whether you are paying too much (or too little) in rent in your neighborhood?
With the above map, courtesy of the Rich Blocks, Poor Blocks website, you can see data from the federal 2007-2011 American Community Survey that shows the median rents in neighborhoods all over the country.
The site shows the rent by census tracts, which gives a closer view to each neighborhood than a zip code or city wide map would.
Highland Park area monthly median rents vary from about $828 in a portion of the eastern side of the area to $1296 in a census tract made up mostly of Mt. Washington.
Using the above map you can look at neighborhoods all over the U.S. and also get reports on income levels and poverty rates by census tract.
