Among the 31 mapped neighborhoods of Macon-Bibb County, it ranks #24 by risk, the lower third. The closest comparables inside the same city are Bevinwood and Forest Lake.

One tract means one number: 3.4/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
