Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Decatur Terrace
Well under the midpoint, supply constraint reads 1/10. At $1,024 a month, rents run 33% under what the rest of Belvedere Park commands.
On the high side, rent-regulation exposure reads 8.8/10. The severe-burden share is 16%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment. The poverty rate is 19%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest.
Court records carry 2,900 eviction filings across 8 observed years. Filings peaked in 2007 at 79.2% of renter households. 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.
In a typical year about 44.5% of renter households face a filing. On the national scale it lands near the 63rd percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored.
Social vulnerability reads 7/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks. Statewide the GA average is 4.2, so this tract runs 0.9 points hotter.

These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
