The score leans hardest on court filing pressure at 9.6/10. At $2,353 a month, rents run 38% over what the rest of Atlanta commands.
The voucher gap is 28.6%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears. This is renter territory: 73% of occupied units are tenant-occupied.
Running cool, rent-regulation exposure reads 1.5/10. On the softer side, state political climate reads 2/10.
The poverty rate is 21%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 230 filings here across 5 tracked years.
SNAP participation runs 7.1% against 15.2% nationally. Against the Fulton County average of 4.2, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 0.7 points. The worst year on record was 2014, when 24.0% of renter households were served.
