Park South Eviction Risk: Moderate

1 census tracts · pop 3,643 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 4.6/10 · range 4.6–4.6

Park South maps to a single census tract in South Fulton, GA and houses 3,643 people. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 4.6/10, Moderate tier. Cost burden runs 64% against 35.6% citywide, putting Park South 28.3% over its own city.

The clearest offset is economic stress, at 1.4/10. At $1,172 a month, rents sit 31% under what the rest of South Fulton commands. Well under the midpoint is supply constraint, at 1.4/10.

Running cool is eviction-process difficulty, at 2/10. 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. CDC survey data puts housing insecurity at 21.8% of adults, against 14.2% nationally.

Among the 19 mapped neighborhoods of South Fulton, it ranks #8 by risk, the middle third. For a like-for-like read, Smoke Ridge and Christian Corners score within a fraction of it.

Social vulnerability runs high at 8.2/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input. Poverty sits at 6%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. Annual rent works out to 29% of average household income of $47,763.

43% of occupied units are renter-occupied.

One tract means one number: 4.6/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
