· range 3–4.4
Brookwood spans 3 census tracts of Alpharetta, GA, population 11,134. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 3.5/10, Lower tier. Average gross rent is $1,195, 39% below the Alpharetta average of $1,948.
The main counterweight is economic stress, at 1.7/10. Scores across the 3 constituent tracts range from 3 to 4.4. A 1.4-point internal spread means block-level underwriting beats area-level here.
Severe burden reaches 16%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. 24% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, under the Alpharetta rate of 29.0%.
Court records for this tract carry 18 eviction filings. Disability prevalence reaches 18.4% against a 31.5% national average, which raises the odds a reasonable-accommodation request accompanies any dispute. SNAP participation is 5.0% of households versus 15.2% nationally.
On the softer side is eviction-process difficulty, at 3/10. That places it #2 of 9 neighborhoods in Alpharetta. At 23% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out.
Against average income of $175,985, annual rent is only 8%, a wide affordability cushion. Poverty sits at 5%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.
Underwrite the address, not the area: with 1.4 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.
