Roseland spans 3 census tracts of Atlanta, GA and houses 3,621 people. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 5.7/10, Moderate tier. Cost burden runs about half against 30.9% citywide, putting Roseland 21.8% over its own city.
Average gross rent is $745, 56% below the Atlanta average of $1,711. The severe-burden share is 37%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. The main counterweight is supply constraint, at 1/10.
The poverty rate is 33%, which shows up in this model as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. CDC survey data puts housing insecurity at 30.2% of adults, against 14.2% nationally. This is a renter market: 71% of occupied units are tenant-occupied.
Running cool is rent-regulation exposure, at 1.5/10. On the high side is economic stress at 7.7/10. The filing record is not thin: 753 evictions logged in this tract.
Filing activity peaked in 2003 at 41.6% of renter households. 17.8% of adults carry no health insurance against 11.3% nationally, a common route into sudden unpayable debt.
The most recent observed rate, 15.9% in 2016, is well off that peak. That places it #1 of 77 neighborhoods in Atlanta.
The closest comparables inside the same city are Forrest Park and Fairburn Heights.
The area figure travels well to individual addresses here, though the per-tract table below still carries the detail. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
