Midwest Cascade, also known as West Cascade, is an affluent predominantly African-American neighborhood in southwest Atlanta at the city's far west edge. Together with the tiny neighborhood of Regency Trace, it forms NPU-Q,[1] the city's fastest growing Neighborhood Planning Unit (NPU) from 2000 to 2010.[2]

The neighborhood is 602.1 acres (2.437 km2) large and bounded by the City of South Fulton on all sides, except for the City of Atlanta's NPU-P, bordering the Ashley Courts and Niskey Lake neighborhoods on the southeast.[3] It includes the following named subdivisions:

  • Barrow / Niskey Lake Circle

  • Cascade Pointe
  • Elysian Estates (half)
  • Guilford Forest

NPU-Q went from 1,024 residents in 2000 to 1,770 in 2010, an increase of 72.9%.[2]

The NPU is 96.5% Black (2010 census), the highest proportion of any NPU in the city. Small minorities include Whites (1.4%) and Hispanics (1.4%).[2]
