Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Battle Hill Haven
The dominant input is economic stress at 10/10. SNAP participation runs 48.7% against 15.2% nationally. Against Fulton County at 46.8%, 63% of renters here are cost-burdened.
Running hot, court filing pressure reads 9.6/10. The poverty rate is 41%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment.
At $1,112 a month, rents run 35% under what the rest of Atlanta commands. Inability to pay a utility bill runs 26.4% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two.
On the softer side, supply constraint reads 1.1/10. It sits 1.5 points above the Fulton County average of 4.2.
Court records carry 1,143 eviction filings across 5 observed years. The worst year on record was 2001, when 79.5% 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.
