Stratford is a 2-tract neighborhood of Atlanta, GA and houses 6,776 people. The Eviction Risk Score is 5.7/10, in the Moderate tier. Against a Atlanta baseline of 30.9%, 49% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.
Average gross rent is $920, 46% below the Atlanta average of $1,711. The poverty rate is 49%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest.
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. This is a renter market: 92% of occupied units are tenant-occupied.
What pushes the score up most is economic stress at 9.2/10. Set annual rent against average household income of $26,421 and the ratio lands at 42%, above the conventional 30% ceiling. Running cool is supply constraint, at 1/10.
Well under the midpoint is rent-regulation exposure, at 1.5/10. 22.3% of adults carry no health insurance against 11.3% nationally, a common route into sudden unpayable debt. Disability prevalence reaches 45.6% against a 31.5% national average, which raises the odds a reasonable-accommodation request accompanies any dispute.
The filing record is not thin: 1,965 evictions logged in this tract. Filing activity peaked in 2001 at 46.8% of renter households. The most recent observed rate, 19.6% in 2016, is well off that peak.
With little internal variation, 5.7/10 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.
