Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Smyrna Heights

What pushes it up most is court filing pressure at 9.6/10. On the softer side, economic stress reads 1/10.

Cost burden runs 54% here against 44.2% across Cobb County. Running hot, tenant-organizing strength reads 8.5/10.

Average gross rent is $1,446, 17% below the Smyrna average. SNAP participation runs 7.6% against 15.2% nationally.

Food insecurity runs 10.7% against 17.8% nationally. On the national scale it lands near the 33rd percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 1.4/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.

Rent consumes only 17% of average household income of $100,306, an unusually wide affordability cushion. Of its three components the housing type and transport measure is the least pressured. Poverty sits at 4%, low enough that arrears here usually signal a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.

It tracks the Cobb County average of 3.9 closely.

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.
