Ormewood takes in 3 census tracts of Atlanta, GA, population 12,495. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 3.7/10, Lower tier. Against a Atlanta baseline of 30.9%, 59% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.
26% 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. Internally this is not one market. Tract scores span 3 to 5.4, so two buildings inside the same boundary can carry materially different risk.
Pulling the other way is rent-regulation exposure, at 1.5/10. Filings are well documented here: 1,031 across 3 observed tracts.
Filing activity peaked in 2001 at 34.4% of renter households. The most recent observed rate, 9.0% in 2016, is well off that peak.
At $1,602 a month, rents sit 6% under what the rest of Atlanta commands. Among the 77 mapped neighborhoods of Atlanta, it ranks #59 by risk, the lower third. At 25% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out.
For a like-for-like read, Candler Park and Cabbagetown score within a fraction of it. Against average income of $134,123, annual rent is only 14%, a wide affordability cushion.
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.
