Kirkwood Eviction Risk: Lower , Atlanta

Average gross rent is $2,515, 47% above the Atlanta average. What pushes it up most is court filing pressure at 9.7/10. The voucher gap is 37.4%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears.

29% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. Running cool, economic stress reads 1/10. Running hot, supply constraint reads 8.7/10.

It sits 1.5 points below the DeKalb County average of 4.5. Food insecurity runs 7.1% against 17.8% nationally.

SNAP participation runs 4.8% against 15.2% nationally. Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 125 filings here across 8 tracked years. The worst year on record was 2011, when 16.2% of renter households were served.

This ground was mapped C ("Definitely Declining") on the 1930s HOLC security maps for Atlanta. That grading determined who could get a mortgage, and its imprint on tenure and rent burden is still visible in the ACS data above.

These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
