Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Cabbagetown
The severe-burden share is 30%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment. On the softer side, rent-regulation exposure reads 1.5/10. Running cool, economic stress reads 1.5/10.
Disability prevalence runs 16.8% against 31.5% nationally. Cost burden runs 41% here against 46.8% across Fulton County.
Food insecurity runs 7.2% against 17.8% nationally. It sits 1.1 points below the Fulton County average of 4.2. Court records carry 380 eviction filings across 5 observed years.

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 13.5% of renter households face a filing. On the national scale it lands near the 22nd percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored.
Social vulnerability reads 2.3/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks. Statewide the GA average is 4.2, so this tract runs 1.1 points cooler.
