Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Cornell
The score leans hardest on economic stress at 6.2/10. That part is specific to this tract, computed from its own rent, income, and poverty figures. Statewide and court-level factors such as eviction-process speed and rent-control exposure are inherited from Atlanta eviction risk, while the economic and supply signals are measured at the tract level.
Set against its neighbors, this tract scores above the Fulton County average of 5.7 and above the Georgia statewide average of 5.6. Within its own county it reads on the riskier side for landlords.
Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 642 eviction filings here over 5 tracked years, with about 23.1% of renter households facing a filing in a typical year. Filings peaked at 27.8% of renter households in 2001.
The tract is predominantly Black and ranks around the 95th percentile nationally on the CDC Social Vulnerability Index, a measure of how exposed residents are to housing and economic shocks. High vulnerability tends to track with higher eviction-filing rates when rents climb.
For a landlord, this is a tract where process discipline pays off. Clean paperwork and steady screening keep the elevated risk manageable.
