Westview Eviction Risk: Moderate

3 census tracts · pop 9,983 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 5.7/10 · range 5.7–5.7

Westview takes in 3 census tracts of Atlanta, GA and houses 9,983 people. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 5.7/10, Moderate tier. 57% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, well clear of the Atlanta rate of 30.9%.

31% are severely burdened, paying half their income or more in rent. That cohort has no absorption capacity for an unexpected bill, and it is where non-payment filings originate. The poverty rate is 33%, which shows up in this model as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. The clearest offset is rent-regulation exposure, at 1.5/10.

Running hot is economic stress at 8.2/10. At $1,291 a month, rents sit 25% under what the rest of Atlanta commands.

SNAP participation is 30.8% of households versus 15.2% nationally. 18.5% of adults report being unable to pay a utility bill, against a 9.2% national figure. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two. Well under the midpoint is supply constraint, at 2.1/10.

Filings are well documented here: 1,593 across 2 observed tracts. The worst year on record was 2014, when filings touched 30.9% of renter households. The most recent observed rate, 17.9% in 2016, is well off that peak.

Among the 77 mapped neighborhoods of Atlanta, it ranks #1 by risk, the upper third.

With little internal variation, 5.7/10 is a fair proxy for any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
