Sun Valley maps to a single census tract in East Point, GA and houses 1,913 people. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 6/10, in the Elevated tier. 68% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, far above the East Point rate of 33.1%.
What pushes the score up most is tenant-organizing strength at 9.5/10. This is a renter market: 78% of occupied units are tenant-occupied.
Running cool is supply constraint, at 1.5/10. The severe-burden share is 20%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay.
CDC survey data puts housing insecurity at 26.2% of adults, against 14.2% nationally. On the softer side is eviction-process difficulty, at 1.7/10. Food insecurity affects 30.8% of adults, 13.0 points above the national rate.
The poverty rate is 17%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest. Average gross rent is $1,197, 12% below the East Point average of $1,364. Social vulnerability runs high at 8.5/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input.
Annual rent works out to 29% of average household income of $48,850.
One tract means one number: 6/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
