Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Elmwood
The dominant input is tenant-organizing strength at 9.9/10. Sitting well above the midpoint, court filing pressure reads 9.6/10.
On the softer side, supply constraint reads 1/10. The poverty rate is 30%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment.
69% 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. Cost burden runs 41% here against 46.8% across Fulton County.
Average gross rent is $993, 18% below the College Park average. Severe burden reaches 10%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. Court records carry 820 eviction filings across 5 observed years.
SNAP participation runs 22.4% against 15.2% nationally. Inability to pay a utility bill runs 14.8% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two.
Filings peaked in 2001 at 24.2% of renter households. 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. In a typical year about 17.9% of renter households face a filing.
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.
