Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Plymouth Colony
The score leans hardest on tenant organizing strength at 9.6/10. That part comes from the wider legal climate rather than the tract itself. Statewide and court-level factors such as eviction-process speed and rent-control exposure are inherited from Chamblee eviction risk, while the economic and supply signals are measured at the tract level.
Set against its neighbors, this tract scores above the DeKalb County average of 6.4 and above the Georgia statewide average of 5.6. Within its own county it reads on the riskier side for landlords.
The tract is Hispanic or Latino and Black and ranks around the 77th percentile nationally on the CDC Social Vulnerability Index, a measure of how exposed residents are to housing and economic shocks. High vulnerability tends to track with higher eviction-filing rates when rents climb.
In CDC survey modeling, about 25.0% of adults here said they could not pay rent or mortgage at some point in the past year, and 15.3% faced a utility shutoff threat, a common early warning before a filing.
For a landlord, this is a tract where process discipline pays off. Clean paperwork and steady screening keep the elevated risk manageable.
