Rivermeade maps to a single census tract in Atlanta, GA and houses 3,852 people. The Eviction Risk Score is 3/10, in the Lower tier. 58% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, dramatically above the Atlanta rate of 30.9%.
The main counterweight is economic stress, at 1/10. 25% 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.
Well under the midpoint is rent-regulation exposure, at 1.5/10. Average gross rent is $1,989, 16% above the Atlanta average of $1,711.
Court records for this tract carry 368 eviction filings. CDC survey data puts housing insecurity at 6.2% of adults, against 14.2% nationally.
4.0% of adults report being unable to pay a utility bill, below a 9.2% national figure. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two. The worst year on record was 2016, when filings touched 71.9% of renter households. That places it #67 of 77 neighborhoods in Atlanta.
Judgments average 4.1% of renter households a year, the share of filings that actually convert to an order. Only 7% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin here; price renewals off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices. Against average income of $235,278, annual rent is only 10%, a wide affordability cushion.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 3/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
