Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Battle Hill Haven
Average gross rent is $1,094, 36% below the Atlanta average. Well under the midpoint, supply constraint reads 1/10.
On the softer side, rent-regulation exposure reads 1.5/10. 12% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears.
It sits 1.1 points above the Fulton County average of 4.2. The poverty rate is 19%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment.
Court records carry 408 eviction filings across 5 observed years. The worst year on record was 2015, when 28.7% of renter households were served.
In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground C ("Definitely Declining"). 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 18.7% of renter households face a filing.
On the national scale it lands near the 67th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. Social vulnerability reads 8.2/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks. Against average income of $75,921, annual rent is just 17%.
These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
