· range 5.7–5.7
Vine City spans 3 census tracts of Atlanta, GA, population 6,998. Scored across those inputs it reaches 5.7/10, placing it in the Moderate tier. Cost burden runs 61% against 30.9% citywide, putting Vine City 30.4% over its own city.
Severe burden reaches 38%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. Average gross rent is $1,014, 41% below the Atlanta average of $1,711. The strongest single driver of the headline number is economic stress at 9.6/10.
Food insecurity affects 43.1% of adults, 25.3 points above the national rate. The poverty rate is 40%, which shows up in this model as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment.
CDC survey data puts housing insecurity at 33.6% of adults, against 14.2% nationally. Well under the midpoint is supply constraint, at 1/10.
Annualized rent equals 32% of average household income here, past the 30% affordability line, which compresses the margin any screening standard has to work with. 69% of occupied units are rented, so comparables are plentiful and vacancy risk is low, but a mispriced renewal loses the tenant to a building two streets over. On the softer side is rent-regulation exposure, at 1.5/10.
Filings are well documented here: 2,916 across 3 observed tracts. Filing activity peaked in 2015 at 49.4% of renter households.
The area figure travels well to individual addresses here, though the per-tract table below still carries the detail. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
