Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Northwoods

Severe burden reaches 31%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. On the high side, rent-regulation exposure reads 9.5/10. Sitting well above the midpoint, housing-court posture reads 8.9/10.

Cost burden runs 61% here against 52.2% across DeKalb County. Adults with no health insurance runs 23.3% against 11.3% nationally.

The poverty rate is 19%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. Against the DeKalb County average of 4.5, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 0.9 points.

Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 671 filings here across 8 tracked years. Filings peaked in 2014 at 21.1% of renter households. In a typical year about 15.7% of renter households face a filing.

That is riskier than roughly 70% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 7.5/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Statewide the GA average is 4.2, so this tract runs 1.2 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.
