Historical context · 1930s redlining

HOLC grade: C: Definitely Declining

This tract sits within an area graded by the Home Owners' Loan Corporation in the 1930s. Grade C meant mixed-race / working-class neighborhoods rated as risky. These designations suppressed minority homeownership for generations and remain a documented predictor of present-day eviction filings and rent burden.

Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Atlantic Station

Well under the midpoint, rent-regulation exposure reads 1.5/10. 20% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears.

This is renter territory: 67% of occupied units are tenant-occupied. 38% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, below the Fulton County average of 46.8%.

Running cool, state political climate reads 2/10. Against the Fulton County average of 4.2, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.2 points. The poverty rate is 18%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest.

SNAP participation runs 6.5% against 15.2% nationally. Food insecurity runs 10.7% against 17.8% nationally. This ground was mapped C ("Definitely Declining") on the 1930s HOLC security maps for Atlanta. That grading determined who could get a mortgage, and its imprint on tenure and rent burden is still visible in the ACS data above.

That is riskier than roughly 70% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 4/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.

All figures here are ACS 5-year estimates for this tract, refreshed as the underlying releases land.
