Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Atlanta

Well under the midpoint, economic stress reads 1.1/10. Running cool, rent-regulation exposure reads 1.5/10. Cost burden runs 39% here against 46.8% across Fulton County.

14% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. Average gross rent is $1,396, 18% below the Atlanta average.

The filing record is not thin: 808 evictions over 5 years of observation. Against the Fulton County average of 4.2, this tract reads safer for landlords by 0.7 points. The worst year on record was 2014, when 40.8% of renter households were served.

In a typical year about 44.5% of renter households face a filing. That is riskier than roughly 31% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.

Only 14% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin; price a renewal off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 4.6/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.

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.
