HOLC grade: A: Best

Analysis

What drives eviction risk in North Forest Hills

Severe burden reaches 30%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. On the high side, tenant-organizing strength reads 9/10.

The poverty rate is 32%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. Against Bibb County at 51.4%, 62% of renters here are cost-burdened. Running cool, supply constraint reads 1.3/10.

Average gross rent is $783, 27% below the Macon-Bibb County average. SNAP participation runs 25.7% against 15.2% nationally. It sits 1.1 points above the Bibb County average of 4.9.

Inability to pay a utility bill runs 15.2% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two. In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground A ("Best"). Redlining cut off mortgage credit to whole blocks for decades, and the areas graded D still carry measurably lower ownership and higher rent burden today. Nationally it ranks #18,163 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty.

Social vulnerability reads 9.3/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.

Tract-level figures come from the ACS 5-year release and are rebuilt whenever that, the court-record feed, or the statutory ledger behind the score changes.
