What drives eviction risk in Buckhead
What pushes it up most is court filing pressure at 9.6/10. Well under the midpoint, supply constraint reads 1/10. Running cool, rent-regulation exposure reads 1.5/10.
The poverty rate is 27%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. Against the Fulton County average of 4.2, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.5 points. Severe burden reaches 12%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate.
In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground C ("Definitely Declining"). 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 74th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored.
On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 7/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Against average income of $44,566, annual rent is just 11%.
Statewide the GA average is 4.2, so this tract runs 1.5 points hotter. Of its three components the housing type and transport measure is the most pressured. 44% of renter households spend at least 30% of income on rent.
57% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
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.
