Rent is HUD Small Area Fair Market Rent for a 1-bedroom, utilities included, as the median of the ZIP codes within 2 miles of downtown; the metro-wide HUD figure is given beside it. Walkability is the EPA National Walkability Index (1 to 20) within 2 miles of downtown. Car-free households are from the Census ACS. Internet speeds are advertised, not measured. Airbnb is the Inside Airbnb median nightly price for an entire home where that snapshot exists. Breweries are open ones inside the city on Open Brewery DB.
