Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Eastland Heights
Set annual rent against average income of $58,611 and the ratio lands at 52%, above the conventional 30% ceiling. At $2,557 a month, rents run 49% over what the rest of Atlanta commands.
What pushes it up most is court filing pressure at 9.7/10. The voucher gap is 39.7%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears.
Against DeKalb County at 52.2%, 66% of renters here are cost-burdened. On the high side, supply constraint reads 9/10.
The poverty rate is 32%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. On the softer side, rent-regulation exposure reads 1.5/10.
It sits 1.2 points above the DeKalb County average of 4.5. In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground C ("Definitely Declining"). Redlining cut off mortgage credit to whole blocks for decades, and the areas graded D still carry measurably lower ownership and higher rent burden today. On the national scale it lands near the 74th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored.
CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 2.8/10. Statewide the GA average is 4.2, so this tract runs 1.5 points hotter.
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.
