Gilmore Eviction Risk: Lower , Smyrna

30% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, well below the Cobb County average of 44.2%. On the softer side, economic stress reads 1/10. Running hot, tenant-organizing strength reads 8.5/10.

Disability prevalence runs 17.2% against 31.5% nationally. SNAP participation runs 5.9% against 15.2% nationally.

Against the Cobb County average of 3.9, this tract reads safer for landlords by 0.9 points. 8% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears.

On the national scale it lands near the 20th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. Social vulnerability reads 1.8/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks. Rent consumes only 17% of average household income of $127,083, an unusually wide affordability cushion.

Statewide the GA average is 4.2, so this tract runs 1.2 points cooler. Of its three components the household composition measure is the least pressured.

Poverty sits at 2%, low enough that arrears here usually signal a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.

All figures here are ACS 5-year estimates for this tract, refreshed as the underlying releases land.
