Historical context · 1930s redlining

HOLC grade: C: Definitely Declining

This tract sits within an area graded by the Home Owners' Loan Corporation in the 1930s. Grade C meant mixed-race / working-class neighborhoods rated as risky. 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 West End

On the softer side, rent-regulation exposure reads 1.5/10. At $1,279 a month, rents run 25% under what the rest of Atlanta commands. 15% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears.

Well under the midpoint, state political climate reads 2/10. Cost burden runs 54% here against 46.8% across Fulton County.

SNAP participation runs 26.3% against 15.2% nationally. It sits 1.0 points above the Fulton County average of 4.2. Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 421 filings here across 5 tracked years.

Inability to pay a utility bill runs 17.1% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two. Filings peaked in 2014 at 39.1% of renter households.

This ground was mapped C ("Definitely Declining") 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 27.8% 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.
