Home Park is a one-tract neighborhood of Atlanta, GA, population 7,337. The Eviction Risk Score is 5.7/10, in the Moderate tier. 43% 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.
61% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, well clear of the Atlanta rate of 30.9%. 94% of occupied units are rented, so comparables are plentiful and vacancy risk is low, but a mispriced renewal loses the tenant to a building two streets over. Annualized rent equals 37% 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 30%, which shows up in this model as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. On the high side is economic stress at 7.5/10.
Court records for this tract carry 433 eviction filings. The worst year on record was 2014, when filings touched 32.2% of renter households.
Recent filings have not receded much: 25.0% in 2016 against a 32.2% peak. That places it #1 of 77 neighborhoods in Atlanta. The closest comparables inside the same city are Forrest Park and Fairburn Heights.
Average gross rent runs $1,714, close to the Atlanta average.
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.
