Woodmere is a 3-tract neighborhood of Smyrna, GA, population 10,383. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 3.9/10, in the Lower tier. The clearest offset is economic stress, at 1.2/10.
Sitting well above the midpoint is tenant-organizing strength at 8.5/10. On the softer side is eviction-process difficulty, at 1.6/10.
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 filing record is not thin: 128 evictions logged in this tract.
Against a Smyrna baseline of 30.9%, around a third of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line. SNAP participation is 6.4% of households versus 15.2% nationally. The worst year on record was 2016, when filings touched 21.2% of renter households.
Food insecurity affects 9.8% of adults, 8.0 points below the national rate. Among the 6 mapped neighborhoods of Smyrna, it ranks #3 by risk, the middle third.
Judgments average 3.3% of renter households a year, the share of filings that actually convert to an order. Poverty sits at 4%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.
Its 3 tracts score within 0.6 points of one another, so the area figure travels well to individual addresses. Average gross rent runs $1,698, close to the Smyrna average.
With little internal variation, 3.9/10 is a fair proxy for any address inside the boundary. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
