· range 5.3–5.7
Battle Hill Haven spans 3 census tracts of Atlanta, GA, population 7,406. The Eviction Risk Score is 5.6/10, in the Moderate tier. Against a Atlanta baseline of 30.9%, 52% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.
Set annual rent against average household income of $28,396 and the ratio lands at 45%, above the conventional 30% ceiling. Average gross rent is $1,056, 38% below the Atlanta average of $1,711. The clearest offset is supply constraint, at 1/10.
The poverty rate is 33%, which shows up in this model as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. 24% 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.
SNAP participation is 34.7% of households versus 15.2% nationally. Well under the midpoint is rent-regulation exposure, at 1.5/10.
20.6% of adults report being unable to pay a utility bill, against a 9.2% national figure. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two. Sitting well above the midpoint is economic stress at 8/10.
Filings are well documented here: 3,238 across 3 observed tracts. Filing activity peaked in 2015 at 79.5% of renter households. The most recent observed rate, 20.0% in 2016, is well off that peak.
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.
