Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Atlanta University Center
The dominant input is economic stress at 10/10. The poverty rate is 53%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. 100% 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.
SNAP participation runs 38.2% against 15.2% nationally. On the high side, court filing pressure reads 9.6/10. Running cool, rent-regulation exposure reads 1.5/10.
Against the Fulton County average of 4.2, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.2 points. Court records carry 194 eviction filings across 4 observed years.
Inability to pay a utility bill runs 16.4% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two. The worst year on record was 2003, when 19.3% of renter households were served.
This ground was mapped D ("Hazardous") 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. In a typical year about 11.6% of renter households face a filing.
