Question 4

Is 35049 a good place to live?

Accepted Answer

ZIP code 35049 has an overall NeighborScore of 51/100, which is below average for the Cleveland metro. The score weights crime (40%), schools (35%), and relative property value (25%).

Reviewing the component scores and the Full Reports for crime, schools, and real estate separately will give a clearer picture than the composite alone.
