Ashford Park is a 7-tract neighborhood of Brookhaven, GA and houses 23,336 people. The Eviction Risk Score is 3.6/10, in the Lower tier. 45% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, markedly above the Brookhaven rate of 28.5%.
Internally this is not one market. Tract scores span 3.1 to 5.9, so two buildings inside the same boundary can carry materially different risk. What pushes the score up most is tenant-organizing strength at 8.9/10.
Severe burden reaches 24%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. Running cool is economic stress, at 2/10.
Well under the midpoint is eviction-process difficulty, at 2.2/10. Filings are well documented here: 836 across 3 observed tracts. The worst year on record was 2014, when filings touched 11.2% of renter households.
17.6% of adults carry no health insurance against 11.3% nationally, a common route into sudden unpayable debt. The most recent observed rate, 3.2% in 2016, is well off that peak. Against average income of $134,572, annual rent is only 17%, a wide affordability cushion.
Average gross rent runs $1,953, close to the Brookhaven average. 48% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
Underwrite the address, not the area: with 2.8 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.
