Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Cabbagetown

Severe burden reaches 31%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. 92% of occupied units are rented, so comparables are plentiful and vacancy risk is low, but a mispriced renewal loses the tenant to a building nearby.

Against Fulton County at 46.8%, 39% of renters here are cost-burdened. On the softer side, state political climate reads 2/10.

At $1,429 a month, rents run 16% under what the rest of Atlanta commands. SNAP participation runs 22.5% against 15.2% nationally.

On the national scale it lands near the 74th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. Social vulnerability reads 8.8/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks. Statewide the GA average is 4.2, so this tract runs 1.5 points hotter.
