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.

Scores across the 3 constituent tracts range from 3.2 to 4.4. A 1.2-point internal spread means block-level underwriting beats area-level here. Court records for this tract carry 884 eviction filings. At $1,641 a month, rents sit 12% under what the rest of Sandy Springs commands.
Filing activity peaked in 2015 at 31.2% of renter households. Recent filings have not receded much: 19.4% in 2016 against a 31.2% peak. That places it #3 of 13 neighborhoods in Sandy Springs.
For a like-for-like read, Misty Ridge and Chattahoochee Heights score within a fraction of it. Annual rent works out to 24% of average household income of $81,208.
