Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Smyrna Grove

The score leans hardest on court filing pressure at 9.6/10. Severe burden reaches 32%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate.

Running hot, tenant-organizing strength reads 8.5/10. Running cool, eviction-process difficulty reads 1.6/10.

It sits 1.6 points above the Cobb County average of 3.9. The poverty rate is 21%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment.

Court records carry 189 eviction filings across 1 observed years. Average gross rent is $1,551, 11% below the Smyrna average.

The worst year on record was 2016, when 15.5% of renter households were served. In a typical year about 15.5% of renter households face a filing.

That is riskier than roughly 72% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 8.3/10.

Tract-level figures come from the ACS 5-year release and are rebuilt whenever that, the court-record feed, or the statutory ledger behind the score changes.
