Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Home Park
The score leans hardest on court filing pressure at 9.6/10. 94% of occupied units are rented, so comparables are plentiful and vacancy risk is low, but a mispriced renewal loses the tenant to a building nearby.
61% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, well above the Fulton County average of 46.8%. Annualized rent equals 37% of average household income of $55,985, past the 30% affordability line, which thins the margin any screening standard has to work with.
On the softer side, rent-regulation exposure reads 1.5/10. The poverty rate is 30%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. It sits 1.5 points above the Fulton County average of 4.2.
Well under the midpoint, state political climate reads 2/10. Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 433 filings here across 5 tracked years. The worst year on record was 2014, when 32.2% of renter households were served.
This ground was mapped D ("Hazardous") 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.
