North Shore Eviction Risk: Lower

6 census tracts · pop 21,718 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 3.1/10 · range 3–3.4

North Shore is a 6-tract neighborhood of Roswell, GA, population 21,718. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 3.1/10, in the Lower tier. Against a Roswell baseline of 30.9%, 50% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.

Severe burden reaches 30%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. The main counterweight is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10.

Running cool is tenant-organizing strength, at 1.5/10. Well under the midpoint is eviction-process difficulty, at 2/10. Average gross rent is $1,474, 19% below the Roswell average of $1,810.

The filing record is not thin: 629 evictions logged in this tract. Filing activity peaked in 2001 at 26.4% of renter households.

The most recent observed rate, 13.9% in 2016, is well off that peak. Among the 15 mapped neighborhoods of Roswell, it ranks #3 by risk, the upper third. The closest comparables inside the same city are Studdiford and River Links.

Against average income of $108,228, annual rent is only 16%, a wide affordability cushion. Its 6 tracts score within 0.4 points of one another, so the area figure travels well to individual addresses.

With little internal variation, 3.1/10 is a fair proxy for any address inside the boundary. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
