The Hill Eviction Risk: Moderate

7 census tracts · pop 15,496 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 4.4/10 · range 3–5.7

The Hill takes in 7 census tracts of Atlanta, GA and houses 15,496 people. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 4.4/10, in the Moderate tier. Cost burden runs roughly one in two against 30.9% citywide, putting The Hill 20.0% over its own city.

The severe-burden share is 27%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. Internally this is not one market. Tract scores span 3 to 5.7, so two buildings inside the same boundary can carry materially different risk. The clearest offset is rent-regulation exposure, at 1.5/10.

Disability prevalence reaches 19.2% against a 31.5% national average, which raises the odds a reasonable-accommodation request accompanies any dispute. Running cool is economic stress, at 3/10. Food insecurity affects 9.4% of adults, 8.4 points below the national rate.

That places it #47 of 77 neighborhoods in Atlanta. The closest comparables inside the same city are Atlantic Station and Edgewood. Average gross rent runs $1,688, close to the Atlanta average.

Annual rent works out to 23% of average household income of $89,654. 64% of occupied units are renter-occupied.

For a specific building, read the per-tract breakdown below rather than the 4.4 headline, because the internal range is too wide to average safely. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
