Leslie Eviction Risk: Moderate , Candler-McAfee

28% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. Sitting well above the midpoint, regional political climate reads 8.4/10.

Well under the midpoint, state political climate reads 2/10. It sits 0.9 points above the DeKalb County average of 4.5. Court records carry 1,361 eviction filings across 8 observed years.

Housing insecurity runs 22.3% against 14.2% nationally. Inability to pay a utility bill runs 14.9% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two. The worst year on record was 2012, when 52.4% of renter households were served.

In a typical year about 42.5% of renter households face a filing. That is riskier than roughly 70% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. At 18% renter-occupied this is predominantly owner territory, and comps have to be drawn from further out.

On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 7.9/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Statewide the GA average is 4.2, so this tract runs 1.2 points hotter. Of its three components the socioeconomic standing measure is the most pressured.

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.
