Meadowbrook Eviction Risk: Elevated

1 census tracts · pop 6,173 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 6/10 · range 6–6

Meadowbrook is a one-tract neighborhood of Macon-Bibb County, GA and houses 6,173 people. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 6/10, in the Elevated tier. 61% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, far above the Macon-Bibb County rate of 34.7%.

The severe-burden share is 36%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. Food insecurity affects 47.0% of adults, 29.2 points above the national rate. The dominant input is economic stress at 9.6/10.

The poverty rate is 39%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest. Sitting well above the midpoint is tenant-organizing strength at 9/10. On the high side is housing-court posture at 8.4/10.

The filing record is not thin: 3,282 evictions logged in this tract. 19.3% of adults carry no health insurance against 11.3% nationally, a common route into sudden unpayable debt. The worst year on record was 2011, when filings touched 29.0% of renter households.

Among the 31 mapped neighborhoods of Macon-Bibb County, it ranks #1 by risk, the upper third. Judgments average 9.5% of renter households a year, the share of filings that actually convert to an order. Social vulnerability runs high at 9.2/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input.

Average gross rent runs $1,071, close to the Macon-Bibb County average.

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.
