Brownstones at Decatur Eviction Risk: Lower

4 census tracts · pop 13,594 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 3.5/10 · range 3–4.4

Brownstones at Decatur takes in 4 census tracts of Decatur, GA, population 13,594. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 3.5/10, Lower tier. Against a Decatur baseline of 28.2%, 41% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.

Pulling the other way is economic stress, at 1.9/10. 19% are severely burdened, paying half their income or more in rent. That cohort has no absorption capacity for an unexpected bill, and it is where non-payment filings originate. Scores across the 4 constituent tracts range from 3 to 4.4. A 1.4-point internal spread means block-level underwriting beats area-level here.

On the softer side is eviction-process difficulty, at 2.2/10. Sitting well above the midpoint is tenant-organizing strength at 7.8/10. CDC survey data puts housing insecurity at 5.9% of adults, against 14.2% nationally.

3.9% of adults report being unable to pay a utility bill, below a 9.2% national figure. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two. Average gross rent is $1,509, 9% below the Decatur average of $1,655. Against average income of $111,023, annual rent is only 16%, a wide affordability cushion.

37% of occupied units are renter-occupied.

Underwrite the address, not the area: with 1.4 points between its best and worst tract, the per-tract table below is the operative number. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
