North DeKalb Eviction Risk: Lower , Scottdale

The dominant input is court filing pressure at 9.7/10. On the high side, tenant-organizing strength reads 8.7/10. 72% 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, local political climate reads 8.5/10. Average gross rent is $1,866, 18% above the Scottdale average. It sits 0.6 points below the DeKalb County average of 4.5.

In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground D ("Hazardous"). 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 40th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored.

On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 6.8/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Of its three components the household composition measure is the least pressured.

Rent takes 30% or more of income for 54% of renters. Annual rent works out to 27% of average household income of $82,543.

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.
