Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Walnut Creek

75% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, far above the Clayton County average of 53.3%. What pushes it up most is court filing pressure at 9.9/10. On the high side, rent-regulation exposure reads 9.6/10.

Food insecurity runs 37.2% against 17.8% nationally. Running hot, housing-court posture reads 8.9/10.

Housing insecurity runs 30.0% against 14.2% nationally. The poverty rate is 30%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. At $2,124 a month, rents run 22% over what the rest of Irondale commands.

Against the Clayton County average of 4.4, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.0 points. The voucher gap is 16.1%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears.

Nationally it ranks #24,859 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. Only 23% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin; price a renewal off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices.

These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
