Ellsworth Park Eviction Risk: Lower

The voucher gap is 25.3%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears. On the softer side is economic stress, at 1.6/10.

19% 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. Scores across the 4 constituent tracts range from 3 to 4.4. A 1.4-point internal spread means block-level underwriting beats area-level here.

Cost burden runs 37% against 30.9% citywide, putting Ellsworth Park 6.4% over its own city. Disability prevalence reaches 16.1% against a 31.5% national average, which raises the odds a reasonable-accommodation request accompanies any dispute.

Food insecurity affects 5.3% of adults, 12.5 points below the national rate. Average gross rent is $1,862, 9% above the Atlanta average of $1,711.

That places it #61 of 77 neighborhoods in Atlanta. Against average income of $167,202, annual rent is only 13%, a wide affordability cushion. Poverty sits at 4%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.

31% 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. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
