Northport itself is documented as Tuscaloosa's own 'more affordable, community-oriented' area

This project's own tuscaloosa-al-topics.js describes Northport directly: "Northport sits just across the Black Warrior River and offers a calmer extension of Tuscaloosa, with a slightly more affordable cost of living, a strong sense of community, a historic downtown strip, and quick access back to UA -- a real, distinct option for buyers prioritizing affordability alongside proximity."

The historic downtown is Northport's own clearest, most distinct area

The Northport Historic District (20 blocks, 134 structures) is the city's own most clearly defined, currently-revitalizing area -- a real, walkable historic core distinct from the newer residential development elsewhere in the city.

A real, disclosed research gap on granular, sub-neighborhood data

This research pass did not confirm specific, named-sub-neighborhood-level breakdowns within Northport itself beyond its own historic downtown core and its broader, real identity as Tuscaloosa's calmer twin city -- disclosed as a gap rather than an invented breakdown. Confirm current, specific-address data directly with a local real estate agent.
