Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Woodward
Against Fulton County at 46.8%, 63% of renters here are cost-burdened. The score leans hardest on court filing pressure at 9.6/10.
This is renter territory: 87% of occupied units are tenant-occupied. Running cool, rent-regulation exposure reads 1.5/10. Against the Fulton County average of 4.2, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.5 points.
Well under the midpoint, state political climate reads 2/10. The poverty rate is 21%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground D ("Hazardous"). Redlining cut off mortgage credit to whole blocks for decades, and the areas graded D still carry measurably lower ownership and higher rent burden today.
On the national scale it lands near the 74th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 3.9/10.
Statewide the GA average is 4.2, so this tract runs 1.5 points hotter. Of its three components the household composition measure is the least pressured. Average gross rent is $1,825, close to the Atlanta average.
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.
