Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Cornell
26% 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, rent-regulation exposure reads 1.5/10.
Average gross rent is $1,306, 24% below the Atlanta average. It sits 1.4 points above the Fulton County average of 4.2. On the softer side, state political climate reads 2/10.
Housing insecurity runs 25.8% against 14.2% nationally. Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 1,201 filings here across 5 tracked years. Inability to pay a utility bill runs 17.4% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two.
The worst year on record was 2014, when 64.0% 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 41.7% of renter households face a filing. Nationally it ranks #22,681 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.
