Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Tamarack
Severe burden reaches 24%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. Annualized rent equals 33% of average household income of $66,336, past the 30% affordability line, which thins the margin any screening standard has to work with. Running hot, regional political climate reads 8.4/10.
44% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, below the DeKalb County average of 52.2%. Running cool, state political climate reads 2/10. It sits 1.3 points above the DeKalb County average of 4.5.
Housing insecurity runs 25.6% against 14.2% nationally. The poverty rate is 22%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. Inability to pay a utility bill runs 18.3% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two.
That is riskier than roughly 76% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. Only 19% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin; price a renewal off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices.
On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 5.5/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Statewide the GA average is 4.2, so this tract runs 1.6 points hotter.
These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
