Lenox Park takes in 3 census tracts of Atlanta, GA and houses 9,591 people. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 3/10, Lower tier. 53% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, dramatically above the Atlanta rate of 30.9%.
The severe-burden share is 31%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. The clearest offset is rent-regulation exposure, at 1.5/10.
On the softer side is economic stress, at 1.9/10. Average gross rent is $2,096, 23% above the Atlanta average of $1,711. SNAP participation is 3.9% of households versus 15.2% nationally.
Filings are well documented here: 171 across 2 observed tracts. Food insecurity affects 6.1% of adults, 11.7 points below the national rate.
The voucher gap is 14.5%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears. Filing activity peaked in 2016 at 10.2% of renter households. That places it #67 of 77 neighborhoods in Atlanta.
Judgments average 1.3% of renter households a year, the share of filings that actually convert to an order.
With little internal variation, 3/10 is a fair proxy for any address inside the boundary. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
