Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Cambridge Square
Set annual rent against average income of $35,114 and the ratio lands at 54%, above the conventional 30% ceiling. Food insecurity runs 49.8% against 17.8% nationally. The score leans hardest on court filing pressure at 9.7/10.
Cost burden runs 67% here against 52.2% across DeKalb County. Housing insecurity runs 36.3% against 14.2% nationally. Running hot, rent-regulation exposure reads 9.5/10.
80% of occupied units are rented, so comparables are plentiful and vacancy risk is low, but a mispriced renewal loses the tenant to a building nearby. Sitting well above the midpoint, housing-court posture reads 8.9/10.
Against the DeKalb County average of 4.5, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.5 points. The poverty rate is 26%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. At $1,591 a month, rents run 15% under what the rest of Doraville commands.
On the national scale it lands near the 78th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. Social vulnerability reads 9.1/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.
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.
