Monterey is a one-tract neighborhood of South Fulton, GA, population 4,267. The Eviction Risk Score is 5.4/10, in the Moderate tier. Against a South Fulton baseline of 35.6%, around two-thirds of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.
29% 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. 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.
Pulling the other way is eviction-process difficulty, at 2/10. The filing record is not thin: 343 evictions logged in this tract.
The poverty rate is 16%, which shows up in this model as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. SNAP participation is 23.9% of households versus 15.2% nationally. Food insecurity affects 26.9% of adults, 9.1 points above the national rate.
Filing activity peaked in 2014 at 38.7% of renter households. Recent filings have not receded much: 43.7% in 2016 against a 38.7% peak. Among the 19 mapped neighborhoods of South Fulton, it ranks #4 by risk, the upper third.
Only 20% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin here; price renewals off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 5.4/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
