Millbrook is a one-tract neighborhood of Sandy Springs, GA and houses 3,627 people. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 3/10, Lower tier. Pulling the other way is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10.
On the softer side is economic stress, at 1.2/10. Well under the midpoint is tenant-organizing strength, at 1.5/10.
The voucher gap is 22.6%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears. Average gross rent is $2,243, 20% above the Sandy Springs average of $1,870. Against a Sandy Springs baseline of 28.0%, 22% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.
Food insecurity affects 4.9% of adults, 12.9 points below the national rate. Court records for this tract carry 278 eviction filings. 11% 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.
3.2% of adults report being unable to pay a utility bill, below a 9.2% national figure. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two. Filing activity peaked in 2003 at 9.9% of renter households.
Recent filings have not receded much: 29.8% in 2016 against a 9.9% peak. That places it #7 of 13 neighborhoods in Sandy Springs.
Against average income of $225,268, annual rent is only 12%, a wide affordability cushion.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 3/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
