Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Ormewood
At $1,062 a month, rents run 38% under what the rest of Atlanta commands. Well under the midpoint, supply constraint reads 1/10. On the softer side, rent-regulation exposure reads 1.5/10.
18% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. 55% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, above the Fulton County average of 46.8%. The poverty rate is 25%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment.
Against the Fulton County average of 4.2, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.2 points. Court records carry 458 eviction filings across 5 observed years.
Filings peaked in 2001 at 34.4% of renter households. 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 15.0% of renter households face a filing. That is riskier than roughly 70% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.
CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 7.6/10. Against average income of $100,370, annual rent is just 13%.
These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
