Brookwood Hills Eviction Risk: Lower

4 census tracts · pop 10,349 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 3.6/10 · range 3–4.4

Brookwood Hills spans 4 census tracts of Atlanta, GA, population 10,349. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 3.6/10, Lower tier. The main counterweight is rent-regulation exposure, at 1.5/10.

Internally this is not one market. Tract scores span 3 to 4.4, so two buildings inside the same boundary can carry materially different risk. On the softer side is economic stress, at 2.2/10.

37% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, higher than the Atlanta rate of 30.9%. SNAP participation is 4.5% of households versus 15.2% nationally. Disability prevalence reaches 19.1% against a 31.5% national average, which raises the odds a reasonable-accommodation request accompanies any dispute.

9% 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. Among the 77 mapped neighborhoods of Atlanta, it ranks #61 by risk, the lower third.

For a like-for-like read, Kirkwood and Ellsworth Park score within a fraction of it. Rent takes 15% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market. Average gross rent runs $1,702, close to the Atlanta average.

36% of occupied units are renter-occupied.

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.
