Inman Park Eviction Risk: Lower

3 census tracts · pop 8,493 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 3.7/10 · range 3–5.7

Inman Park is a 3-tract neighborhood of Atlanta, GA and houses 8,493 people. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 3.7/10, Lower tier. Scores across the 3 constituent tracts range from 3 to 5.7. A 2.7-point internal spread means block-level underwriting beats area-level here.

The clearest offset is rent-regulation exposure, at 1.5/10. 30% of renters spend 30% or more of household income on rent. 17% 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 $2,072 a month, rents sit 21% over what the rest of Atlanta commands. Well under the midpoint is economic stress, at 2.8/10.

Filings are well documented here: 1,549 across 2 observed tracts. Disability prevalence reaches 18.9% against a 31.5% national average, which raises the odds a reasonable-accommodation request accompanies any dispute. The voucher gap is 13.2%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears.

The worst year on record was 2014, when filings touched 39.2% of renter households. SNAP participation is 7.1% of households versus 15.2% nationally. The most recent observed rate, 15.8% in 2016, is well off that peak.

For a specific building, read the per-tract breakdown below rather than the 3.7 headline, because the internal range is too wide to average safely. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
