Historical context · 1930s redlining

HOLC grade: D: Hazardous (Redlined)

This tract sits within an area graded by the Home Owners' Loan Corporation in the 1930s. Grade D meant Black, immigrant, and poor neighborhoods systematically denied mortgage credit. 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 Elmwood

Against Fulton County at 46.8%, around a third of renters here are cost-burdened. On the high side, tenant-organizing strength reads 9.5/10. Severe burden reaches 24%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate.

On the softer side, supply constraint reads 1/10. It sits 1.8 points above the Fulton County average of 4.2. Food insecurity runs 33.5% against 17.8% nationally.

SNAP participation runs 30.1% against 15.2% nationally. At $1,085 a month, rents run 20% under what the rest of East Point commands.

The poverty rate is 20%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. The filing record is not thin: 902 evictions over 5 years of observation.

The worst year on record was 2001, when 30.9% of renter households were served. This ground was mapped D ("Hazardous") 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 22.3% 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.
