Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Hotel District
The severe-burden share is 27%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment. Running cool, rent-regulation exposure reads 1.5/10.
Well under the midpoint, state political climate reads 2/10. Against the Fulton County average of 4.2, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.3 points. The poverty rate is 22%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest.
Court records carry 411 eviction filings across 5 observed years. Filings peaked in 2003 at 16.6% of renter households. In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground D ("Hazardous").

In a typical year about 13.1% of renter households face a filing. That is riskier than roughly 72% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.
On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 6.8/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Statewide the GA average is 4.2, so this tract runs 1.3 points hotter. Of its three components the household composition measure is the least pressured.
