Atlanta Junction Eviction Risk: Moderate , Rome

Running hot, tenant-organizing strength reads 9.3/10. SNAP participation runs 33.3% against 15.2% nationally. 20% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears.

On the softer side, eviction-process difficulty reads 1.5/10. At $775 a month, rents run 25% under what the rest of Rome commands. It sits 1.5 points above the Floyd County average of 4.2.

The poverty rate is 26%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. Against Floyd County at 43.6%, 52% of renters here are cost-burdened.

Adults with no health insurance runs 22.8% against 11.3% nationally. The filing record is not thin: 556 evictions over 5 years of observation. Filings peaked in 2016 at 16.3% of renter households.

In a typical year about 14.1% of renter households face a filing. That is riskier than roughly 74% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. Social vulnerability reads 9.6/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.

Tract-level figures come from the ACS 5-year release and are rebuilt whenever that, the court-record feed, or the statutory ledger behind the score changes.
