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 Linwood

The dominant input is court filing pressure at 9.6/10. Running cool, economic stress reads 1.4/10.

Disability prevalence runs 14.6% against 31.5% nationally. 69% 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. On the softer side, rent-regulation exposure reads 1.5/10.

At $2,122 a month, rents run 24% over what the rest of Atlanta commands. SNAP participation runs 3.2% against 15.2% nationally. It sits 1.2 points below the Fulton County average of 4.2.

The voucher gap is 16.0%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears. 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 20th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored.

Social vulnerability reads 1.1/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks. Statewide the GA average is 4.2, so this tract runs 1.2 points cooler. Of its three components the household composition measure is the least pressured.

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