Roswell Towneship Eviction Risk: Lower

2 census tracts · pop 10,021 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 3/10 · range 3–3

Roswell Towneship is a 2-tract neighborhood of Roswell, GA and houses 10,021 people. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 3/10, Lower tier. Against a Roswell baseline of 30.9%, 53% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.

The main counterweight is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10. Running cool is economic stress, at 1.1/10. On the softer side is tenant-organizing strength, at 1.5/10.

The voucher gap is 23.1%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears. Average gross rent is $2,253, 24% above the Roswell average of $1,810. The severe-burden share is 18%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay.

SNAP participation is 3.5% of households versus 15.2% nationally. Food insecurity affects 5.8% of adults, 12.0 points below the national rate.

Filings are well documented here: 51 across 2 observed tracts. Filing activity peaked in 2015 at 5.7% of renter households. The most recent observed rate, 2.4% in 2016, is well off that peak.

That places it #4 of 15 neighborhoods in Roswell. At 12% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out. Poverty sits at 4%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.

The area figure travels well to individual addresses here, though the per-tract table below still carries the detail. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
