Embry Hills Eviction Risk: Moderate

5 census tracts · pop 15,187 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 4/10 · range 3.1–5.2

Embry Hills is a 5-tract neighborhood of Tucker, GA, population 15,187. The Eviction Risk Score is 4/10, in the Moderate tier. 40% 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.

Cost burden runs 62% against 39.3% citywide, putting Embry Hills 22.9% over its own city. Scores across the 5 constituent tracts range from 3.1 to 5.2. A 2.1-point internal spread means block-level underwriting beats area-level here.

Filings are well documented here: 1,051 across 2 observed tracts. The worst year on record was 2012, when filings touched 27.2% of renter households. The most recent observed rate, 14.5% in 2016, is well off that peak.

That places it #4 of 7 neighborhoods in Tucker. The closest comparables inside the same city are Mountain Creek and Montreal. Rent takes 18% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market.

Average gross rent runs $1,697, close to the Tucker average. 31% of occupied units are renter-occupied.

Underwrite the address, not the area: with 2.1 points between its best and worst tract, the per-tract table below is the operative number. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
