Historical context · 1930s redlining

HOLC grade: C: Definitely Declining

This tract sits within an area graded by the Home Owners' Loan Corporation in the 1930s. Grade C meant mixed-race / working-class neighborhoods rated as risky. These designations suppressed minority homeownership for generations and remain a documented predictor of present-day eviction filings and rent burden.

Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Brookwood Hills

33% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, markedly below the Fulton County average of 46.8%. Running cool, rent-regulation exposure reads 1.5/10. Severe burden reaches 19%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate.

At $2,150 a month, rents run 26% over what the rest of Atlanta commands. Disability prevalence runs 18.5% against 31.5% nationally.

Well under the midpoint, state political climate reads 2/10. SNAP participation runs 4.4% against 15.2% nationally. The voucher gap is 17.5%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears.

This ground was mapped C ("Definitely Declining") on the 1930s HOLC security maps for Atlanta. That grading determined who could get a mortgage, and its imprint on tenure and rent burden is still visible in the ACS data above. That is riskier than roughly 40% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.

On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 1.7/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Of its three components the household composition measure is the least pressured.

It tracks the Fulton County average of 4.2 closely. Annual rent works out to 24% of average household income of $107,212.

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.
