Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Oakengate

Against the DeKalb County average of 4.5, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 3.2 points. The severe-burden share is 34%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment.

The dominant input is tenant-organizing strength at 9.9/10. Food insecurity runs 50.4% against 17.8% nationally. Inability to pay a utility bill runs 32.2% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two.

On the high side, court filing pressure reads 9.7/10. 87% of occupied units are rented, so comparables are plentiful and vacancy risk is low, but a mispriced renewal loses the tenant to a building nearby.

The poverty rate is 36%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. Set annual rent against average income of $40,865 and the ratio lands at 35%, above the conventional 30% ceiling. Sitting well above the midpoint, economic stress reads 8.9/10.

Average gross rent is $1,201, 16% below the Clarkston average. That is riskier than roughly 89% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.

Social vulnerability reads 9.6/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks. Statewide the GA average is 4.2, so this tract runs 3.5 points hotter.

Tract-level figures come from the ACS 5-year release and are rebuilt whenever that, the court-record feed, or the statutory ledger behind the score changes.
