Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Embry Hills
What moves this score most is eviction process difficulty at $1/10. 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 Tucker eviction risk, while the economic and supply signals are measured at the tract level.
Set against its neighbors, this tract scores below the DeKalb County average of 6.4 and in line with the Georgia statewide average of 5.6. Within its own county it reads on the safer side for landlords.
The tract is White and Black and ranks around the 71st percentile nationally on the CDC Social Vulnerability Index, a measure of how exposed residents are to housing and economic shocks. That is a middle-of-the-pack reading for social vulnerability.
In CDC survey modeling, about 13.4% of adults here said they could not pay rent or mortgage at some point in the past year, and 8.2% faced a utility shutoff threat, a common early warning before a filing.
For a landlord, conditions here are middle-of-the-road. Standard screening and prompt, documented notices usually keep cases short.
