The Battery Atlanta takes in 2 census tracts of Smyrna, GA, population 13,961. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 4.9/10, Moderate tier. This is a renter market: 85% of occupied units are tenant-occupied.
The dominant input is tenant-organizing strength at 8.5/10. Well under the midpoint is eviction-process difficulty, at 1.6/10.
37% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, above the Smyrna rate of 30.9%. 14% 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.
The 2 tracts inside this boundary do not behave alike. Individual scores run 4.4 to 5.4, a 1-point gap wide enough that the area average misleads on any specific address. Filings are well documented here: 904 across 2 observed tracts. Disability prevalence reaches 18.9% against a 31.5% national average, which raises the odds a reasonable-accommodation request accompanies any dispute.
Running cool is economic stress, at 2.9/10. Filing activity peaked in 2016 at 27.6% of renter households. Among the 6 mapped neighborhoods of Smyrna, it ranks #2 by risk, the upper third.
Judgments average 5.5% of renter households a year, the share of filings that actually convert to an order. The closest comparables inside the same city are Smyrna Grove and Woodmere.
Average gross rent runs $1,792, close to the Smyrna average.
Underwrite the address, not the area: with 1 points between its best and worst tract, the per-tract table below is the operative number. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
