Oakland Heights maps to a single census tract in Cartersville, GA and houses 4,296 people. Scored across those inputs it reaches 5.4/10, placing it in the Moderate tier. Against a Cartersville baseline of 26.1%, 43% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.
66% of occupied units are rented, so comparables are plentiful and vacancy risk is low, but a mispriced renewal loses the tenant to a building two streets over. The main counterweight is eviction-process difficulty, at 1.9/10. Sitting well above the midpoint is tenant-organizing strength at 8/10.
The poverty rate is 24%, which shows up in this model as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. Running cool is supply constraint, at 2.1/10. The severe-burden share is 9%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay.
19.0% of adults carry no health insurance against 11.3% nationally, a common route into sudden unpayable debt. SNAP participation is 24.0% of households versus 15.2% nationally. At $1,307 a month, rents sit 6% over what the rest of Cartersville commands.
Among the 11 mapped neighborhoods of Cartersville, it ranks #1 by risk, the upper third. The closest comparables inside the same city are Junta and Rodgers.
Social vulnerability runs high at 8.9/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input. Annual rent works out to 30% of average household income of $52,535.
One tract means one number: 5.4/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
