Valley View takes in 4 census tracts of Dunwoody, GA and houses 14,586 people. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 3.2/10, Lower tier. 48% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, well above the Dunwoody rate of 31.1%.
What pushes the score up most is tenant-organizing strength at 8.8/10. Running cool is economic stress, at 1.2/10. This is a renter market: 65% of occupied units are tenant-occupied.
On the softer side is eviction-process difficulty, at 1.6/10. 18% 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. CDC survey data puts housing insecurity at 7.0% of adults, against 14.2% nationally.
4.1% 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. That places it #3 of 9 neighborhoods in Dunwoody. For a like-for-like read, Village Mill and Fox Hollow score within a fraction of it.
Poverty sits at 2%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. Its 4 tracts score within 0.7 points of one another, so the area figure travels well to individual addresses. Average gross rent runs $1,868, close to the Dunwoody average.
Annual rent works out to 21% of average household income of $109,192.
With little internal variation, 3.2/10 is a fair proxy for any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
