Jefferson Hills maps to a single census tract in Macon-Bibb County, GA and houses 3,867 people. Scored across those inputs it reaches 6/10, placing it in the Elevated tier. Against a Macon-Bibb County baseline of 34.7%, 47% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.
24.2% of adults report being unable to pay a utility bill, against a 9.2% national figure. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two. The strongest single driver of the headline number is tenant-organizing strength at 9/10.
On the high side is housing-court posture at 8.4/10. The poverty rate is 27%, which shows up in this model as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment.
Running cool is eviction-process difficulty, at 1.7/10. At $833 a month, rents sit 22% under what the rest of Macon-Bibb County commands. Disability prevalence reaches 45.6% against a 31.5% national average, which raises the odds a reasonable-accommodation request accompanies any dispute.
11% 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. The filing record is not thin: 1,120 evictions logged in this tract.
Filing activity peaked in 2007 at 31.0% of renter households. The most recent observed rate, 17.6% in 2011, is well off that peak. 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. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
