Groveland Park maps to a single census tract in Macon-Bibb County, GA, population 5,687. Scored across those inputs it reaches 6/10, placing it in the Elevated tier. Against a Macon-Bibb County baseline of 34.7%, 60% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.
SNAP participation is 48.4% of households versus 15.2% nationally. The dominant input is economic stress at 9.1/10.
The poverty rate is 36%, which shows up in this model as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. The severe-burden share is 27%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. Sitting well above the midpoint is tenant-organizing strength at 9/10.
On the high side is housing-court posture at 8.4/10. Disability prevalence reaches 46.5% against a 31.5% national average, which raises the odds a reasonable-accommodation request accompanies any dispute.
Court records for this tract carry 2,870 eviction filings. The worst year on record was 2007, when filings touched 56.8% of renter households.
The most recent observed rate, 26.1% in 2011, is well off that peak. That places it #1 of 31 neighborhoods in Macon-Bibb County. For a like-for-like read, Christian Rest and Hillcrest Heights score within a fraction of it.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 6/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
