Woodward takes in 3 census tracts of Atlanta, GA and houses 9,779 people. The Eviction Risk Score is 3.8/10, in the Lower tier. The 3 tracts inside this boundary do not behave alike. Individual scores run 3 to 5.7, a 2.7-point gap wide enough that the area average misleads on any specific address.
The clearest offset is rent-regulation exposure, at 1.5/10. The severe-burden share is 23%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay.
This is a renter market: 70% of occupied units are tenant-occupied. Against a Atlanta baseline of 30.9%, 39% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.
On the softer side is economic stress, at 2.2/10. Disability prevalence reaches 18.8% against a 31.5% national average, which raises the odds a reasonable-accommodation request accompanies any dispute. Average gross rent is $1,824, 7% above the Atlanta average of $1,711.
That places it #53 of 77 neighborhoods in Atlanta. Annual rent works out to 25% of average household income of $86,515.
Underwrite the address, not the area: with 2.7 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.
