North Highland maps to a single census tract in Cartersville, GA and houses 4,014 people. The Eviction Risk Score is 4.5/10, in the Moderate tier. The clearest offset is supply constraint, at 1.3/10.
The severe-burden share is 19%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. Cost burden runs 34% against 26.1% citywide, putting North Highland 7.8% over its own city.
On the softer side is eviction-process difficulty, at 1.9/10. Running hot is tenant-organizing strength at 8/10.
19.3% of adults carry no health insurance against 11.3% nationally, a common route into sudden unpayable debt. At $1,154 a month, rents sit 6% under what the rest of Cartersville commands. That places it #5 of 11 neighborhoods in Cartersville.
The closest comparables inside the same city are Terrell Heights and Burnt Hickory Hills. Social vulnerability runs high at 7.6/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input. Against average income of $76,196, annual rent is only 18%, a wide affordability cushion.
58% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 4.5/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
