Bedingfield maps to a single census tract in Macon-Bibb County, GA and houses 2,625 people. The Eviction Risk Score is 6/10, in the Elevated tier. 54% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, markedly above the Macon-Bibb County rate of 34.7%.
What pushes the score up most is economic stress at 10/10. SNAP participation is 47.5% of households versus 15.2% nationally. The poverty rate is 44%, which shows up in this model as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment.
Annualized rent equals 38% of average household income here, past the 30% affordability line, which compresses the margin any screening standard has to work with. Average gross rent is $717, 33% below the Macon-Bibb County average of $1,066.
Running hot is tenant-organizing strength at 9/10. 25% are severely burdened, paying half their income or more in rent. That cohort has no absorption capacity for an unexpected bill, and it is where non-payment filings originate. Running cool is supply constraint, at 1/10.
70% 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. Disability prevalence reaches 45.0% against a 31.5% national average, which raises the odds a reasonable-accommodation request accompanies any dispute. The filing record is not thin: 1,024 evictions logged in this tract.
The worst year on record was 2007, when filings touched 22.4% of renter households. The most recent observed rate, 11.8% in 2011, is well off that peak.
One tract means one number: 6/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
