Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Athens

Pulling hardest the other way is supply constraint at 1.3/10. 25% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. Running cool, eviction-process difficulty reads 1.5/10.

On the softer side, state political climate reads 1.8/10. Average gross rent is $792, 12% below the Athens average. On the national scale it lands near the 33rd percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored.

Only 9% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin; price a renewal off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 2.1/10. Against average income of $95,795, annual rent is just 10%.

Of its three components the housing type and transport measure is the least pressured. It tracks the Limestone County average of 4.0 closely.

These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
