Yargo Township is a one-tract neighborhood of Winder, GA, population 5,394. The Eviction Risk Score is 5.1/10, in the Moderate tier. Cost burden runs 57% against 29.4% citywide, putting Yargo Township 27.1% over its own city.

Severe burden reaches 24%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. The main counterweight is supply constraint, at 1.8/10. On the softer side is eviction-process difficulty, at 2/10.

Court records for this tract carry 502 eviction filings. Running hot is tenant-organizing strength at 7.1/10. The worst year on record was 2000, when filings touched 33.4% of renter households.

Recent filings have not receded much: 28.8% in 2003 against a 33.4% peak. Social vulnerability runs high at 9.1/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input. Average gross rent runs $1,240, close to the Winder average.

Annual rent works out to 25% of average household income of $60,185. 37% of occupied units are renter-occupied.

Because the boundary contains one tract, 5.1/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
