Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Union City
The heaviest input here is supply constraint at 6.1/10. That part is specific to this tract, computed from its own rent, income, and poverty figures.

Set against its neighbors, this tract scores about the same as the Fulton County average of 5.7 and in line with the Georgia statewide average of 5.6. Within its own county it reads on the riskier side for landlords.
The tract is predominantly Black and ranks around the 35th percentile nationally on the CDC Social Vulnerability Index, a measure of how exposed residents are to housing and economic shocks. That is a relatively low-vulnerability reading.
In CDC survey modeling, about 21.6% of adults here said they could not pay rent or mortgage at some point in the past year, and 13.7% faced a utility shutoff threat, a common early warning before a filing.
