Cambridge Square takes in 3 census tracts of Doraville, GA, population 12,563. The Eviction Risk Score is 6/10, in the Elevated tier. Severe burden reaches 44%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears.
roughly two in three of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, well clear of the Doraville rate of 44.9%. The dominant input is rent-regulation exposure at 9.5/10.
Annualized rent equals 39% of average household income here, past the 30% affordability line, which compresses the margin any screening standard has to work with. Sitting well above the midpoint is housing-court posture at 8.9/10. On the high side is tenant-organizing strength at 8.5/10.
Food insecurity affects 34.8% of adults, 17.0 points above the national rate. CDC survey data puts housing insecurity at 26.1% of adults, against 14.2% nationally.
The poverty rate is 22%, which shows up in this model as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. At $1,528 a month, rents sit 18% under what the rest of Doraville commands. Court records for this tract carry 2,799 eviction filings.
Filing activity peaked in 2012 at 31.6% of renter households. Recent filings have not receded much: 22.8% in 2016 against a 31.6% peak.
The area figure travels well to individual addresses here, though the per-tract table below still carries the detail. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
