Arbor West is a one-tract neighborhood of South Fulton, GA, population 4,243. The Eviction Risk Score is 5.5/10, in the Moderate tier. The severe-burden share is 40%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay.
Against a South Fulton baseline of 35.6%, 49% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line. Annualized rent equals 35% of average household income here, past the 30% affordability line, which compresses the margin any screening standard has to work with. The clearest offset is eviction-process difficulty, at 2/10.
The poverty rate is 27%, which shows up in this model as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. CDC survey data puts housing insecurity at 25.1% of adults, against 14.2% nationally.
17.7% of adults report being unable to pay a utility bill, against a 9.2% national figure. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two. At $1,953 a month, rents sit 15% over what the rest of South Fulton commands. That places it #1 of 19 neighborhoods in South Fulton.
For a like-for-like read, Brittany Forest and Malibu score within a fraction of it. 31% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
One tract means one number: 5.5/10 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.
