With renting at the highest level in half a century, some neighborhoods radically changed their structure in the last 10 years.
So much so that from homeowner territory, they’ve become renter hotspots. In the latest RentCafe report, we looked at the 50 largest U.S. cities to uncover the fastest-growing renter zip codes, the zip codes that transitioned to renter majority, as well as the top renter hotspots.Â
Two zip codes switched to renter–majority, and other seven neighborhoods are considered the fastest-growing renter zip codes in Atlanta. In addition, the city has 23 renter hotspots with high renter shares.Â
Let’s dive into the details:Â

While zip code 30309 was home to 9,788 renters 10 years prior, lately it has boosted to 13,064 apartment dwellers, thus turning the neighborhood renter-majority. The second zip code that has more renters than homeowners is zip code 30345, where 13,069 tenants live currently.  Â
