Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Elmwood
Against the Fulton County average of 4.2, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 2.6 points. Sitting well above the midpoint, court filing pressure reads 9.6/10.
26% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. Running cool, supply constraint reads 1/10.
Average gross rent is $985, 18% below the College Park average. The filing record is not thin: 1,082 evictions over 5 years of observation. The worst year on record was 2001, when 25.2% of renter households were served.
This ground was mapped C ("Definitely Declining") on the 1930s HOLC security maps for Atlanta. That grading determined who could get a mortgage, and its imprint on tenure and rent burden is still visible in the ACS data above. In a typical year about 29.9% of renter households face a filing. That is riskier than roughly 84% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.
Social vulnerability reads 6.2/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks. Statewide the GA average is 4.2, so this tract runs 2.6 points hotter.
Of its three components the household composition measure is the least pressured.
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.
