Christian Rest Eviction Risk: Elevated

1 census tracts · pop 2,994 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 6/10 · range 6–6

Christian Rest is a one-tract neighborhood of Macon-Bibb County, GA, population 2,994. The Eviction Risk Score is 6/10, in the Elevated tier. 43% 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.

63% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, well clear of the Macon-Bibb County rate of 34.7%. The dominant input is economic stress at 10/10. The poverty rate is 50%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest.

Food insecurity affects 48.9% of adults, 31.1 points above the national rate. Average gross rent is $682, 36% below the Macon-Bibb County average of $1,066. Sitting well above the midpoint is tenant-organizing strength at 9/10.

Well under the midpoint is supply constraint, at 1/10. 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: 1,977 evictions logged in this tract. Filing activity peaked in 2011 at 59.8% of renter households. That places it #1 of 31 neighborhoods in Macon-Bibb County.

One tract means one number: 6/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
