Evictions hit 10 percent in August in some areas of central DeKalb

Most of central DeKalb County's census tracts saw evictions take place during the month of August, according to an Atlanta Regional Commission tracking tool.

Two census tracts near Pine Lake and Stone Mountain saw evictions filed against more than 10 percent of their renting households in August, the highest rates in the county.



The ARC notes its map only reflects formal evictions found by searching county court websites. It says it does not reflect forced moves due to illegal or informal evictions, which it says are far more numerous than those that go through the formal, legal eviction process.
