Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Lakewood Heights
SNAP participation runs 57.0% against 15.2% nationally. Food insecurity runs 54.9% against 17.8% nationally. The poverty rate is 42%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment.
Sitting well above the midpoint, court filing pressure reads 9.6/10. On the softer side, 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.
This ground was mapped C ("Definitely Declining") 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. That is riskier than roughly 74% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.
Statewide the GA average is 4.2, so this tract runs 1.5 points hotter. Model confidence here is 60%, lower than typical because some ACS inputs for this tract carry wide margins of error, so read the score as a band, not a point.
All figures here are ACS 5-year estimates for this tract, refreshed as the underlying releases land.
