Browns Mill is a one-tract neighborhood of Atlanta, GA and houses 3,284 people. The Eviction Risk Score is 5.7/10, in the Moderate tier. Severe burden reaches 43%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears.
Cost burden runs 52% against 30.9% citywide, putting Browns Mill 21.2% over its own city. The dominant input is economic stress at 9.2/10.
The poverty rate is 37%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest. 21.8% 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.
At $1,219 a month, rents sit 29% under what the rest of Atlanta commands. Food insecurity affects 37.2% of adults, 19.4 points above the national rate.
Running cool is rent-regulation exposure, at 1.5/10. On the softer side is supply constraint, at 1.7/10.
The filing record is not thin: 1,231 evictions logged in this tract. Filing activity peaked in 2001 at 49.3% of renter households.
The most recent observed rate, 26.4% in 2016, is well off that peak. Among the 77 mapped neighborhoods of Atlanta, it ranks #1 by risk, the upper third. The closest comparables inside the same city are Sylvan Hills and Fairburn Heights.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 5.7/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
