Raleigh's Five Points air quality reflects the historic inner Raleigh neighbourhood, with vehicle traffic on the surrounding artisan residential corridors contributing modest local sources. The neighbourhood's tree-lined character and the walkable scale provide natural filtration, while the flat Piedmont terrain allows reasonable dispersal and Five Points generally maintains among Raleigh's more pleasant inner residential environments throughout most of the year.
