Analysis
What drives eviction risk in West End
The dominant input is court filing pressure at 9.6/10. Average gross rent is $998, 42% below the Atlanta average.
60% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, well above the Fulton County average of 46.8%. On the softer side, supply constraint reads 1/10.
Running cool, rent-regulation exposure reads 1.5/10. Against the Fulton County average of 4.2, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.4 points.
The poverty rate is 19%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 1,030 filings here across 5 tracked years. The worst year on record was 2003, when 54.5% 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 54.7% of renter households face a filing. On the national scale it lands near the 73rd percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored.
CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 7/10. Statewide the GA average is 4.2, so this tract runs 1.4 points hotter.
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.
