Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Linwood
What moves this score most is supply constraint at 5.8/10. That part is specific to this tract, computed from its own rent, income, and poverty figures.

Set against its neighbors, this tract scores below the Fulton County average of 5.7 and below the Georgia statewide average of 5.6. Within its own county it reads on the safer side for landlords.
Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 179 eviction filings here over 5 tracked years, with about 4.5% of renter households facing a filing in a typical year. Filings peaked at 4.9% of renter households in 2014.
The tract is predominantly White and ranks around the 3rd percentile nationally on the CDC Social Vulnerability Index, a measure of how exposed residents are to housing and economic shocks. That is a relatively low-vulnerability reading.
For a landlord, conditions here are middle-of-the-road. Standard screening and prompt, documented notices usually keep cases short.
