Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Capitol Gateway
The severe-burden share is 29%, 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, state political climate reads 2/10.
The poverty rate is 20%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. Court records carry 213 eviction filings across 5 observed years. SNAP participation runs 7.5% against 15.2% nationally.
Food insecurity runs 10.1% against 17.8% nationally. Against the Fulton County average of 4.2, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 0.8 points. The worst year on record was 2016, when 19.6% 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 11.7% of renter households face a filing.
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.
