Virginia Highland Eviction Risk: Moderate , Atlanta

Running cool, rent-regulation exposure reads 1.5/10. Well under the midpoint, state political climate reads 2/10. Average gross rent is $1,449, 15% below the Atlanta average.

Severe burden reaches 9%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. 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. On the national scale it lands near the 44th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored.

On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 4.5/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Of its three components the household composition measure is the least pressured.

Rent takes 30% or more of income for 47% of renters. It tracks the Fulton County average of 4.2 closely. Annual rent works out to 18% of average household income of $95,500.

50% of occupied units are renter-occupied.

These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
