Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two.
Food insecurity affects 30.9% of adults, 13.1 points above the national rate. The poverty rate is 18%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest. Among the 19 mapped neighborhoods of South Fulton, it ranks #4 by risk, the upper third.
Average gross rent runs $1,622, close to the South Fulton average. Annual rent works out to 29% of average household income of $67,434. 47% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 5.4/10 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.
