· range 5.7–5.7
Capitol View spans 2 census tracts of Atlanta, GA and houses 6,236 people. Scored across those inputs it reaches 5.7/10, placing it in the Moderate tier. 46% 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.
Cost burden runs 61% against 30.9% citywide, putting Capitol View 29.6% over its own city. The clearest offset is rent-regulation exposure, at 1.5/10.
Set annual rent against average household income of $56,258 and the ratio lands at 33%, above the conventional 30% ceiling. The poverty rate is 25%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest. CDC survey data puts housing insecurity at 22.6% of adults, against 14.2% nationally.
15.8% 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. Court records for this tract carry 654 eviction filings. Filing activity peaked in 2015 at 34.2% of renter households.
Average gross rent is $1,549, 9% below the Atlanta average of $1,711. The most recent observed rate, 18.5% 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 Forrest Park and Fairburn Heights. Social vulnerability runs high at 7.6/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input.
The 2 tracts here are tightly clustered, 0 points apart at the extremes.
With little internal variation, 5.7/10 is a fair proxy for any address inside the boundary. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
