Hammond Park spans 4 census tracts of Atlanta, GA and houses 13,566 people. Scored across those inputs it reaches 5.6/10, placing it in the Moderate tier. Against a Atlanta baseline of 30.9%, 46% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.
29% 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. At $1,130 a month, rents sit 34% under what the rest of Atlanta commands.
Pulling the other way is supply constraint, at 1.6/10. On the softer side is rent-regulation exposure, at 2.7/10. Food insecurity affects 30.1% of adults, 12.3 points above the national rate.
The poverty rate is 19%, which shows up in this model as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. SNAP participation is 26.6% of households versus 15.2% nationally.
Court records for this tract carry 1,387 eviction filings. On the high side is tenant-organizing strength at 7.3/10.
The worst year on record was 2014, when filings touched 34.2% of renter households. Recent filings have not receded much: 24.8% in 2016 against a 34.2% peak.
With little internal variation, 5.6/10 is a fair proxy for any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
