Ellsworth Park Eviction Risk: Lower , Atlanta

Average gross rent is $3,288, 92% above the Atlanta average. The voucher gap is 79.7%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears.

Severe burden reaches 33%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. On the high side, court filing pressure reads 9.6/10. Running cool, economic stress reads 1/10.

SNAP participation runs 2.1% against 15.2% nationally. Against the Fulton County average of 4.2, this tract reads safer for landlords by 1.2 points. 41% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, below the Fulton County average of 46.8%.

Inability to pay a utility bill runs 2.8% 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 B ("Still Desirable"). 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. On the national scale it lands near the 20th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored.

At 5% renter-occupied this is predominantly owner territory, and comps have to be drawn from further out. Social vulnerability reads 1/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks. Rent consumes only 16% of average household income of $250,001, an unusually wide affordability cushion.

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.
