Gilmore is a 4-tract neighborhood of Smyrna, GA, population 13,991. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 3.6/10, in the Lower tier. At $2,317 a month, rents sit 33% over what the rest of Smyrna commands.
The dominant input is tenant-organizing strength at 8.7/10. Internally this is not one market. Tract scores span 3 to 5.3, so two buildings inside the same boundary can carry materially different risk. The voucher gap is 26.6%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears.
On the softer side is economic stress, at 1.4/10. Running cool is eviction-process difficulty, at 1.6/10.
Severe burden reaches 17%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. The filing record is not thin: 8 evictions logged in this tract.
Disability prevalence reaches 19.3% against a 31.5% national average, which raises the odds a reasonable-accommodation request accompanies any dispute. Cost burden runs 35% against 30.9% citywide, putting Gilmore 4.1% over its own city. The worst year on record was 2016, when filings touched 3.6% of renter households.
Among the 6 mapped neighborhoods of Smyrna, it ranks #5 by risk, the lower third. Judgments average 1.4% of renter households a year, the share of filings that actually convert to an order.
For a specific building, read the per-tract breakdown below rather than the 3.6 headline, because the internal range is too wide to average safely. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
