Fireside is a 3-tract neighborhood of Fairburn, GA, population 13,443. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 4.6/10, in the Moderate tier. 71% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, dramatically above the Fairburn rate of 28.5%.
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. The 3 tracts inside this boundary do not behave alike. Individual scores run 3.2 to 5.1, a 1.9-point gap wide enough that the area average misleads on any specific address. The main counterweight is eviction-process difficulty, at 2.1/10.
CDC survey data puts housing insecurity at 22.9% of adults, against 14.2% nationally. Running cool is supply constraint, at 2.7/10.
Food insecurity affects 26.2% of adults, 8.4 points above the national rate. Average gross rent runs $1,417, close to the Fairburn average.
Annual rent works out to 27% of average household income of $62,590. 42% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
Underwrite the address, not the area: with 1.9 points between its best and worst tract, the per-tract table below is the operative number. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
