Hotel District spans 5 census tracts of Atlanta, GA, population 13,766. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 4.8/10, in the Moderate tier. 61% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, far above the Atlanta rate of 30.9%.
The severe-burden share is 24%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. Pulling the other way is rent-regulation exposure, at 1.5/10. This is a renter market: 70% of occupied units are tenant-occupied.
Scores across the 5 constituent tracts range from 3.8 to 5.7. A 1.9-point internal spread means block-level underwriting beats area-level here. Average gross rent is $1,375, 20% below the Atlanta average of $1,711.
Court records for this tract carry 411 eviction filings. The worst year on record was 2003, when filings touched 16.6% of renter households.
Recent filings have not receded much: 12.8% in 2016 against a 16.6% peak. That places it #42 of 77 neighborhoods in Atlanta. Annual rent works out to 24% of average household income of $67,491.
Underwrite the address, not the area: with 1.9 points between its best and worst tract, the per-tract table below is the operative number. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
