Adams Park spans 2 census tracts of Atlanta, GA and houses 6,213 people. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 5.6/10, in the Moderate tier. Cost burden runs 71% against 30.9% citywide, putting Adams Park 40.5% over its own city.
Food insecurity affects 41.7% of adults, 23.9 points above the national rate. 28% 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.
Annualized rent equals 38% of average household income here, past the 30% affordability line, which compresses the margin any screening standard has to work with. 80% of occupied units are rented, so comparables are plentiful and vacancy risk is low, but a mispriced renewal loses the tenant to a building two streets over. Pulling the other way is rent-regulation exposure, at 1.5/10.
The poverty rate is 26%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest. At $1,314 a month, rents sit 23% under what the rest of Atlanta commands. Well under the midpoint is supply constraint, at 2.2/10.
Filings are well documented here: 3,010 across 2 observed tracts. The worst year on record was 2014, when filings touched 74.9% of renter households.
17.6% of adults carry no health insurance against 11.3% nationally, a common route into sudden unpayable debt.
With little internal variation, 5.6/10 is a fair proxy for any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
