Elmwood Eviction Risk: Elevated , College Park

What pushes it up most is court filing pressure at 9.6/10. On the high side, tenant-organizing strength reads 9.5/10.

Against the Fulton County average of 4.2, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.8 points. On the softer side, eviction-process difficulty reads 1.7/10. 17% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears.

The poverty rate is 25%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. Food insecurity runs 26.7% against 17.8% nationally. Court records carry 1,558 eviction filings across 5 observed years.

Inability to pay a utility bill runs 15.8% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two. The worst year on record was 2016, when 34.6% of renter households were served. 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 30.4% of renter households face a filing. Nationally it ranks #18,163 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty.

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.
