The severe-burden share is 29%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. The main counterweight is supply constraint, at 1/10. Running cool is eviction-process difficulty, at 1.9/10.
Running hot is tenant-organizing strength at 8/10. The poverty rate is 16%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest. At $1,063 a month, rents sit 14% under what the rest of Cartersville commands.
Among the 11 mapped neighborhoods of Cartersville, it ranks #4 by risk, the middle third. Only 23% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin here; price renewals off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices. Against average income of $82,009, annual rent is only 16%, a wide affordability cushion.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 4.6/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
