Emory Highlands Eviction Risk: Moderate , Atlanta

The dominant input is economic stress at 10/10. The poverty rate is 46%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment.

100% 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, court filing pressure reads 9.7/10. Well under the midpoint, rent-regulation exposure reads 1.5/10.

Cost burden runs 59% here against 52.2% across DeKalb County. It sits 1.2 points above the DeKalb County average of 4.5. Food insecurity runs 25.3% against 17.8% nationally.

Average gross rent is $1,860, 9% above the Atlanta average. In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground C ("Definitely Declining"). 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.

That is riskier than roughly 74% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 6.1/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.

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.
