Smyrna Grove Eviction Risk: Moderate

Severe burden reaches 27%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. The dominant input is tenant-organizing strength at 8.5/10. Well under the midpoint is eviction-process difficulty, at 1.6/10.

Average gross rent is $1,429, 18% below the Smyrna average of $1,739. 20.7% of adults carry no health insurance against 11.3% nationally, a common route into sudden unpayable debt. Court records carry 689 eviction filings across its 4 observed tracts.

Running cool is supply constraint, at 2.8/10. The worst year on record was 2016, when filings touched 15.5% of renter households. That places it #1 of 6 neighborhoods in Smyrna.

Judgments average 6.3% of renter households a year, the share of filings that actually convert to an order. For a like-for-like read, The Battery Atlanta and Woodmere score within a fraction of it.

Social vulnerability runs high at 8.2/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input. Its 5 tracts score within 0.9 points of one another, so the area figure travels well to individual addresses. Annual rent works out to 27% of average household income of $63,302.

With little internal variation, 5.2/10 is a fair proxy for any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
