Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Ellsworth Park
74% of occupied units are rented, so comparables are plentiful and vacancy risk is low, but a mispriced renewal loses the tenant to a building nearby. Running cool, rent-regulation exposure reads 1.5/10. On the softer side, economic stress reads 1.6/10.
Severe burden reaches 18%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. SNAP participation runs 3.3% against 15.2% nationally.
Inability to pay a utility bill runs 4.0% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two. In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground D ("Hazardous"). 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. Nationally it ranks #50,654 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty.
CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 1.6/10. Of its three components the household composition measure is the least pressured.
about half of renter households spend at least 30% of income on rent. It tracks the Fulton County average of 4.2 closely. Average gross rent is $1,806, close to the Atlanta average.
