Grove Park maps to a single census tract in Atlanta, GA and houses 2,258 people. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 5.7/10, in the Moderate tier. Against a Atlanta baseline of 30.9%, 56% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.
The severe-burden share is 32%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. Annualized rent equals 39% of average household income here, past the 30% affordability line, which compresses the margin any screening standard has to work with. The main counterweight is rent-regulation exposure, at 1.5/10.
The poverty rate is 19%, which shows up in this model as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. Court records for this tract carry 706 eviction filings.
CDC survey data puts housing insecurity at 21.7% of adults, against 14.2% nationally. The worst year on record was 2003, when filings touched 17.8% of renter households. Recent filings have not receded much: 22.9% in 2016 against a 17.8% peak.
Average gross rent is $1,848, 8% above the Atlanta average of $1,711. Among the 77 mapped neighborhoods of Atlanta, it ranks #1 by risk, the upper third. 49% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
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.
