Arlington Park Eviction Risk: Elevated

1 census tracts · pop 2,930 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 6/10 · range 6–6

Arlington Park is a one-tract neighborhood of Macon-Bibb County, GA and houses 2,930 people. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 6/10, Elevated tier. The severe-burden share is 53%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay.

Against a Macon-Bibb County baseline of 34.7%, 77% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line. The dominant input is economic stress at 10/10.

The poverty rate is 49%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest. Annualized rent equals 41% of average household income here, past the 30% affordability line, which compresses the margin any screening standard has to work with.

Sitting well above the midpoint is tenant-organizing strength at 9/10. 76% 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. On the softer side is supply constraint, at 1.1/10.

At $760 a month, rents sit 29% under what the rest of Macon-Bibb County commands. Disability prevalence reaches 52.8% against a 31.5% national average, which raises the odds a reasonable-accommodation request accompanies any dispute.

23.4% of adults carry no health insurance against 11.3% nationally, a common route into sudden unpayable debt. The filing record is not thin: 1,196 evictions logged in this tract.

Because the boundary contains one tract, 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.
