Hidden Branches maps to a single census tract in Sandy Springs, GA, population 2,122. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 3/10, Lower tier. Against a Sandy Springs baseline of 28.0%, 73% 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 1/10.
Well under the midpoint is tenant-organizing strength, at 1.5/10. The voucher gap is 19.8%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears.
15% are severely burdened, paying half their income or more in rent. That cohort has no absorption capacity for an unexpected bill, and it is where non-payment filings originate. Average gross rent is $2,192, 17% above the Sandy Springs average of $1,870. SNAP participation is 4.8% of households versus 15.2% nationally.
Food insecurity affects 8.0% of adults, 9.8 points below the national rate. Among the 13 mapped neighborhoods of Sandy Springs, it ranks #7 by risk, the middle third.
For a like-for-like read, The Oaks and Millbrook score within a fraction of it. Against average income of $149,485, annual rent is only 18%, a wide affordability cushion.
One tract means one number: 3/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
