North Forest Hills takes in 2 census tracts of Macon-Bibb County, GA and houses 4,123 people. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 5.8/10, in the Moderate tier. Cost burden runs 59% against 34.7% citywide, putting North Forest Hills 24.7% over its own city.
30% 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 dominant input is tenant-organizing strength at 9/10.
The poverty rate is 30%, which shows up in this model as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. This is a renter market: 66% of occupied units are tenant-occupied. Running hot is housing-court posture at 8.4/10.
Running cool is supply constraint, at 1.6/10. Average gross rent is $819, 23% below the Macon-Bibb County average of $1,066. The 2 tracts inside this boundary do not behave alike. Individual scores run 5 to 6, a 1-point gap wide enough that the area average misleads on any specific address.
SNAP participation is 24.0% of households versus 15.2% nationally. Food insecurity affects 26.3% of adults, 8.5 points above the national rate. Among the 31 mapped neighborhoods of Macon-Bibb County, it ranks #14 by risk, the middle third.
The closest comparables inside the same city are Kings Park and Renaissance on the River.
For a specific building, read the per-tract breakdown below rather than the 5.8 headline, because the internal range is too wide to average safely. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
