What drives eviction risk in Sweet Auburn
86% of occupied units are rented, so comparables are plentiful and vacancy risk is low, but a mispriced renewal loses the tenant to a building nearby. On the softer side, rent-regulation exposure reads 1.5/10.
Against the Fulton County average of 4.2, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.5 points. Well under the midpoint, state political climate reads 2/10.
Severe burden reaches 13%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. The poverty rate is 21%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. Average gross rent is $1,941, 13% above the Atlanta average.
This ground was mapped D ("Hazardous") on the 1930s HOLC security maps for Atlanta. That grading determined who could get a mortgage, and its imprint on tenure and rent burden is still visible in the ACS data above. On the national scale it lands near the 74th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 5.6/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.
Statewide the GA average is 4.2, so this tract runs 1.5 points hotter. Of its three components the household composition measure is the least pressured.
Rent takes 30% or more of income for 47% of renters.
Tract-level figures come from the ACS 5-year release and are rebuilt whenever that, the court-record feed, or the statutory ledger behind the score changes.
