Comparing Rent in Campbell

Rent costs in Campbell vary wildly between neighborhoods.

Now you can see just how pricey it is, and how it compares neighborhood-by-neighborhood. 

A new data-based website, Rich Blocks, Poor Blocks uses U.S. census information compiled from the 2007-2011 American Community Survey to show median household income and monthly rents by census tract.

The median monthly rent near Campbell Park is $1,530 in 2011 dollars. Housing costs peak west of there, at $1,782 near San Tomas Park.

Rents are lower in the neighborhoods bordered by Hamilton and Leigh avenues, where the monthly median rent is $1,315, according to the Census data.
