English Ave. Eviction Risk: Moderate , Atlanta

SNAP participation runs 46.9% against 15.2% nationally. Average gross rent is $957, 44% below the Atlanta average. The poverty rate is 46%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest.

Sitting well above the midpoint, court filing pressure reads 9.6/10. Severe burden reaches 25%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. Inability to pay a utility bill runs 28.0% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two.

On the softer side, supply constraint reads 1/10. Annualized rent equals 35% of average household income of $32,847, past the 30% affordability line, which thins the margin any screening standard has to work with. 75% 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.

Cost burden runs 38% here against 46.8% across Fulton County. Against the Fulton County average of 4.2, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.5 points.

Court records carry 603 eviction filings across 5 observed years. The worst year on record was 2001, when 21.3% of renter households were served. In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground D ("Hazardous"). Redlining cut off mortgage credit to whole blocks for decades, and the areas graded D still carry measurably lower ownership and higher rent burden today.

In a typical year about 23.4% of renter households face a filing. On the national scale it lands near the 74th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored.

Tract-level figures come from the ACS 5-year release and are rebuilt whenever that, the court-record feed, or the statutory ledger behind the score changes.
