Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Oakhurst
On the softer side, economic stress reads 1.2/10. The severe-burden share is 22%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment. Running hot, local political climate reads 8.5/10.
Against the DeKalb County average of 4.5, this tract reads safer for landlords by 1.5 points. Food insecurity runs 7.8% against 17.8% nationally.
SNAP participation runs 5.4% against 15.2% nationally. Court records carry 176 eviction filings across 8 observed years. The worst year on record was 2011, when 11.4% of renter households were served.
In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground C ("Definitely Declining"). Redlining cut off mortgage credit to whole blocks for decades, and the areas graded D still carry measurably lower ownership and higher rent burden today. In a typical year about 4.7% of renter households face a filing. Nationally it ranks #67,219 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty.
At 13% renter-occupied this is predominantly owner territory, and comps have to be drawn from further out.
These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
