Granite Hills is a one-tract neighborhood of Auburn, AL and houses 4,319 people. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 3.3/10, in the Lower tier. Cost burden runs 60% against 38.9% citywide, putting Granite Hills 21.1% over its own city.
Pulling the other way is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10. 21% are severely burdened, paying half their income or more in rent. That cohort has no absorption capacity for an unexpected bill, and it is where non-payment filings originate. Running cool is housing-court posture, at 2.5/10.
Well under the midpoint is eviction-process difficulty, at 3/10. At $982 a month, rents sit 11% under what the rest of Auburn commands.
That places it #4 of 6 neighborhoods in Auburn. For a like-for-like read, Grove Hill and Bent Brooke score within a fraction of it.
Against average income of $65,163, annual rent is only 18%, a wide affordability cushion. 37% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 3.3/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
