Oakton is a one-tract neighborhood of Marietta, GA, population 8,030. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 3/10, in the Lower tier. 42% are severely burdened, paying half their income or more in rent. That cohort has no absorption capacity for an unexpected bill, and it is where non-payment filings originate.
Against a Marietta baseline of 33.5%, 54% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line. Pulling the other way is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10.
Well under the midpoint is economic stress, at 1.2/10. The filing record is not thin: 24 evictions logged in this tract. Running cool is eviction-process difficulty, at 2.5/10.
SNAP participation is 4.3% of households versus 15.2% nationally. Food insecurity affects 6.5% of adults, 11.3 points below the national rate.
The worst year on record was 2016, when filings touched 2.2% of renter households. Among the 13 mapped neighborhoods of Marietta, it ranks #10 by risk, the lower third. Judgments average 1.2% of renter households a year, the share of filings that actually convert to an order.
At 27% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out. Against average income of $117,292, annual rent is only 17%, a wide affordability cushion. Poverty sits at 5%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.
One tract means one number: 3/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
