Gilmore Eviction Risk: Moderate , Smyrna

Sitting well above the midpoint, tenant-organizing strength reads 8.5/10. 21% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears.

Cost burden runs 39% here against 44.2% across Cobb County. Average gross rent is $1,597, 8% below the Smyrna average.

On the national scale it lands near the 67th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 5.5/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Statewide the GA average is 4.2, so this tract runs 1.1 points hotter.

Of its three components the household composition measure is the least pressured. Annual rent works out to 26% of average household income of $72,755.

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.
