Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Cartersville
What moves this score most is tenant organizing strength at $1/10. That part comes from the wider legal climate rather than the tract itself. Statewide and court-level factors such as eviction-process speed and rent-control exposure are inherited from Cartersville eviction risk, while the economic and supply signals are measured at the tract level.
Set against its neighbors, this tract scores above the Bartow County average of 5.1 and in line with the Georgia statewide average of 5.6. Within its own county it reads on the riskier side for landlords.
Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 846 eviction filings here over 14 tracked years, with about 23.2% of renter households facing a filing in a typical year. Filings peaked at 23.1% of renter households in 2012.
The tract is predominantly White and ranks around the 21st percentile nationally on the CDC Social Vulnerability Index, a measure of how exposed residents are to housing and economic shocks. That is a relatively low-vulnerability reading.
