Population, income, and housing-cost figures come from the U.S. Census Bureau American Community Survey 5-year estimates (B-series tables). Crime data uses FBI UCR; climate uses NOAA Climate Normals; school counts come from NCES Common Core of Data; permits use the Census Building Permits Survey (BPS). See our methodology page for the full ETL pipeline and OMB / FIPS join keys.

How does Bremen compare to other US cities?

Where Bremen sits among all US cities (population 1,000+) on each measure, computed live from Census and FBI data.

Household income 67% higher than other cities
Home value 58% pricier than other cities
Median rent 29% pricier than other cities
Safety 33% safer than other cities

"Safer than" reflects total crime rate from FBI UCR; the others use Census ACS estimates.

A national percentile can hide a lot of local variation: narrowed to Georgia alone, Bremen ranks #87 of 165 Georgia cities by lowest crime rate - a different, more locally useful comparison than stacking it against the entire country.

How we calculate these percentiles & ranks

Each percentile compares Bremen against every qualifying US city; each in-state rank narrows that to Georgia only. Full formula and direction notes: methodology.

Georgia-relative analysis

Poverty Rate places Bremen toward the bottom of Georgia's cities

Among the 637 Georgia cities PlainCities tracks with reported poverty rate data, Bremen ranks #553 - the 13th percentile within the state. This is a different, narrower cut than the nationwide percentiles above: it compares Bremen only against its own state's cities, not the full US field.
