Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Hotel District
The poverty rate is 43%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. Sitting well above the midpoint, court filing pressure reads 9.6/10.
Against Fulton County at 46.8%, 34% of renters here are cost-burdened. 82% of occupied units are rented, so comparables are plentiful and vacancy risk is low, but a mispriced renewal loses the tenant to a building nearby. Running cool, rent-regulation exposure reads 1.5/10.
Against the Fulton County average of 4.2, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.5 points. Severe burden reaches 15%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate.
Housing insecurity runs 21.4% against 14.2% nationally. Inability to pay a utility bill runs 15.4% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two. This ground was mapped D ("Hazardous") on the 1930s HOLC security maps for Atlanta. That grading determined who could get a mortgage, and its imprint on tenure and rent burden is still visible in the ACS data above.
Nationally it ranks #21,564 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 6.2/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Statewide the GA average is 4.2, so this tract runs 1.5 points hotter.
All figures here are ACS 5-year estimates for this tract, refreshed as the underlying releases land.
