· range 3–4.6
Linwood takes in 3 census tracts of Atlanta, GA and houses 8,305 people. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 3.4/10, Lower tier. Pulling the other way is rent-regulation exposure, at 1.5/10.
71% of occupied units are rented, so comparables are plentiful and vacancy risk is low, but a mispriced renewal loses the tenant to a building two streets over. Well under the midpoint is economic stress, at 1.5/10. Scores across the 3 constituent tracts range from 3 to 4.6. A 1.6-point internal spread means block-level underwriting beats area-level here.
The severe-burden share is 15%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. Rent consumes at least 30% of income for roughly one in three of renter households. Disability prevalence reaches 17.3% against a 31.5% national average, which raises the odds a reasonable-accommodation request accompanies any dispute.
The filing record is not thin: 179 evictions logged in this tract. SNAP participation is 4.8% of households versus 15.2% nationally. At $1,951 a month, rents sit 14% over what the rest of Atlanta commands.
Filing activity peaked in 2014 at 4.9% of renter households. The most recent observed rate, 2.4% in 2016, is well off that peak. That places it #64 of 77 neighborhoods in Atlanta.
Poverty sits at 5%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.
Underwrite the address, not the area: with 1.6 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.
