Atlanta Eviction Risk: Moderate

Severe burden reaches 28%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. At $1,142 a month, rents run 33% under what the rest of Atlanta commands. 78% 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.

Well under the midpoint, supply constraint reads 1.2/10. Running cool, 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.

The poverty rate is 25%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. Food insecurity runs 27.7% against 17.8% nationally. The filing record is not thin: 2,100 evictions over 5 years of observation.

Inability to pay a utility bill runs 15.4% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two. The worst year on record was 2003, when 65.5% of renter households were served. In a typical year about 49.2% of renter households face a filing.

On the national scale it lands near the 74th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored.
