Historical context · 1930s redlining

HOLC grade: B: Still Desirable

This tract sits within an area graded by the Home Owners' Loan Corporation in the 1930s. Grade B meant middle-class areas with mortgage access. 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

On the softer side, economic stress reads 1/10. Well under the midpoint, rent-regulation exposure reads 1.5/10.

Food insecurity runs 5.3% against 17.8% nationally. Against the Fulton County average of 4.2, this tract reads safer for landlords by 1.2 points. Average gross rent is $1,386, 19% below the Atlanta average.

Inability to pay a utility bill runs 3.3% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two. This ground was mapped B ("Still Desirable") 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 20% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.

At 12% renter-occupied this is predominantly owner territory, and comps have to be drawn from further out. Social vulnerability reads 3.6/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.

Rent consumes only 11% of average household income of $153,188, 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.
