Edgewood is a 2-tract neighborhood of Atlanta, GA, population 6,127. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 4.2/10, Moderate tier. Cost burden runs 58% against 30.9% citywide, putting Edgewood 27.5% over its own city.
Internally this is not one market. Tract scores span 3.2 to 5.6, so two buildings inside the same boundary can carry materially different risk. Pulling the other way is rent-regulation exposure, at 1.5/10. Severe burden reaches 20%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears.
Filings are well documented here: 1,472 across 2 observed tracts. Disability prevalence reaches 19.3% against a 31.5% national average, which raises the odds a reasonable-accommodation request accompanies any dispute. The worst year on record was 2013, when filings touched 27.3% of renter households.
At $1,517 a month, rents sit 11% under what the rest of Atlanta commands. The most recent observed rate, 11.0% in 2016, is well off that peak. Among the 77 mapped neighborhoods of Atlanta, it ranks #47 by risk, the middle third.
For a like-for-like read, The Hill and Midtown score within a fraction of it. Against average income of $93,726, annual rent is only 19%, a wide affordability cushion.
45% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
For a specific building, read the per-tract breakdown below rather than the 4.2 headline, because the internal range is too wide to average safely. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
