Carroll Heights maps to a single census tract in Atlanta, GA and houses 2,284 people. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 5.7/10, in the Moderate tier. The severe-burden share is 72%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay.
76% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, dramatically above the Atlanta rate of 30.9%. What pushes the score up most is economic stress at 10/10.
SNAP participation is 49.0% of households versus 15.2% nationally. The poverty rate is 44%, which shows up in this model as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. At $1,003 a month, rents sit 41% under what the rest of Atlanta commands.
Annualized rent equals 43% of average household income here, past the 30% affordability line, which compresses the margin any screening standard has to work with. Well under the midpoint is supply constraint, at 1/10.
On the softer side is rent-regulation exposure, at 1.5/10. Disability prevalence reaches 45.0% against a 31.5% national average, which raises the odds a reasonable-accommodation request accompanies any dispute.
The filing record is not thin: 1,660 evictions logged in this tract. Filing activity peaked in 2001 at 85.6% of renter households.
The most recent observed rate, 26.0% in 2016, is well off that peak. That places it #1 of 77 neighborhoods in Atlanta.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 5.7/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
