Gilmore Eviction Risk: Lower , Smyrna

At $3,501 a month, rents run 101% over what the rest of Smyrna commands. The voucher gap is 91.3%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears. Sitting well above the midpoint, court filing pressure reads 9.6/10.

24% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. Well under the midpoint, economic stress reads 1/10.

34% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, well below the Cobb County average of 44.2%. Disability prevalence runs 17.0% against 31.5% nationally.

It sits 0.9 points below the Cobb County average of 3.9. Court records carry 8 eviction filings across 1 observed years. Inability to pay a utility bill runs 3.9% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two.

The worst year on record was 2016, when 3.6% of renter households were served. In a typical year about 3.6% of renter households face a filing. On the national scale it lands near the 20th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored.

At 11% renter-occupied this is predominantly owner territory, and comps have to be drawn from further out. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 1.1/10.

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.
