Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Dunwoody Knoll

What pushes it up most is supply constraint at 10/10. At $3,267 a month, rents run 76% over what the rest of Dunwoody commands. The voucher gap is 78.5%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears.

On the high side, court filing pressure reads 9.7/10. On the softer side, economic stress reads 1/10. Against the DeKalb County average of 4.5, this tract reads safer for landlords by 1.5 points.

14% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. Housing insecurity runs 4.2% against 14.2% nationally. Inability to pay a utility bill runs 2.8% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two.

Nationally it ranks #67,219 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. At 5% renter-occupied this is predominantly owner territory, and comps have to be drawn from further out. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 1.1/10.

Statewide the GA average is 4.2, so this tract runs 1.2 points cooler.

These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
