Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Carey Park

Food insecurity runs 42.3% against 17.8% nationally. The dominant input is court filing pressure at 9.6/10.

Annualized rent equals 43% of average household income of $30,729, past the 30% affordability line, which thins the margin any screening standard has to work with. At $1,099 a month, rents run 36% under what the rest of Atlanta commands. On the softer side, supply constraint reads 1/10.

Well under the midpoint, rent-regulation exposure reads 1.5/10. The severe-burden share is 19%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment. It sits 1.5 points above the Fulton County average of 4.2.

The poverty rate is 25%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. Adults with no health insurance runs 20.1% against 11.3% nationally. The filing record is not thin: 1,687 evictions over 5 years of observation.

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.
