Village Mill is a one-tract neighborhood of Dunwoody, GA, population 5,892. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 3/10, in the Lower tier. Against a Dunwoody baseline of 31.1%, 8% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.
At $3,501 a month, rents sit 88% over what the rest of Dunwoody commands. The strongest single driver of the headline number is supply constraint at 10/10.
The voucher gap is 91.3%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears. Running cool is economic stress, at 1/10. Running hot is tenant-organizing strength at 8.8/10.
Food insecurity affects 5.3% of adults, 12.5 points below the national rate. The filing record is not thin: 51 evictions logged in this tract. 3.2% 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.
Severe burden reaches 8%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. The worst year on record was 2014, when filings touched 7.8% of renter households. Recent filings have not receded much: 8.3% in 2016 against a 7.8% peak.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 3/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
