Westover Plantation Eviction Risk: Lower

2 census tracts · pop 5,301 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 3.9/10 · range 3–4.6

Westover Plantation is a 2-tract neighborhood of Atlanta, GA and houses 5,301 people. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 3.9/10, in the Lower tier. Average gross rent is $1,131, 34% below the Atlanta average of $1,711.

The main counterweight is rent-regulation exposure, at 1.5/10. 23% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, lower than the Atlanta rate of 30.9%.

The 2 tracts inside this boundary do not behave alike. Individual scores run 3 to 4.6, a 1.6-point gap wide enough that the area average misleads on any specific address. Well under the midpoint is economic stress, at 2.6/10. Court records for this tract carry 935 eviction filings.

Disability prevalence reaches 19.4% against a 31.5% national average, which raises the odds a reasonable-accommodation request accompanies any dispute. The worst year on record was 2003, when filings touched 45.4% of renter households. Recent filings have not receded much: 31.1% in 2016 against a 45.4% peak.

Among the 77 mapped neighborhoods of Atlanta, it ranks #49 by risk, the middle third. The closest comparables inside the same city are Wexwood Glen and Resurgens Plaza.

Rent takes 9% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market. 33% of occupied units are renter-occupied.

Underwrite the address, not the area: with 1.6 points between its best and worst tract, the per-tract table below is the operative number. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
