Historical context · 1930s redlining

HOLC grade: D: Hazardous (Redlined)

This tract sits within an area graded by the Home Owners' Loan Corporation in the 1930s. Grade D meant Black, immigrant, and poor neighborhoods systematically denied mortgage credit. These designations suppressed minority homeownership for generations and remain a documented predictor of present-day eviction filings and rent burden.

Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Roseland

Against Fulton County at 46.8%, around two-thirds of renters here are cost-burdened. The dominant input is economic stress at 10/10. Average gross rent is $820, 52% below the Atlanta average.

SNAP participation runs 50.4% against 15.2% nationally. Housing insecurity runs 38.7% against 14.2% nationally. The poverty rate is 45%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest.

This is renter territory: 97% of occupied units are tenant-occupied. Set annual rent against average income of $21,686 and the ratio lands at 45%, above the conventional 30% ceiling.

Sitting well above the midpoint, court filing pressure reads 9.6/10. On the softer side, supply constraint reads 1/10.

Against the Fulton County average of 4.2, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.5 points. 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. Nationally it ranks #21,564 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty.

These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
