1 census tracts · pop 624 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 3.8/10
· range 3.8–3.8
Bellwood maps to a single census tract in Atlanta, GA and houses 624 people. Scored across those inputs it reaches 3.8/10, placing it in the Lower tier. 84% 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 economic stress, at 1.3/10. Well under the midpoint is rent-regulation exposure, at 1.5/10.
Severe burden reaches 18%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. Rent consumes at least 30% of income for 30% of renter households.
That places it #53 of 77 neighborhoods in Atlanta. The closest comparables inside the same city are Woodward and Virginia Highland. Poverty sits at 5%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.
Average gross rent runs $1,738, close to the Atlanta average. Annual rent works out to 22% of average household income of $94,045.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 3.8/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
