Riverside Hills is a 3-tract neighborhood of Macon-Bibb County, GA and houses 5,977 people. Scored across those inputs it reaches 5/10, placing it in the Moderate tier. Cost burden runs about half against 34.7% citywide, putting Riverside Hills 15.5% over its own city.
Severe burden reaches 31%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. The dominant input is tenant-organizing strength at 9/10.
The poverty rate is 34%, which shows up in this model as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. The 3 tracts inside this boundary do not behave alike. Individual scores run 3.5 to 6, a 2.5-point gap wide enough that the area average misleads on any specific address.
SNAP participation is 33.3% of households versus 15.2% nationally. Sitting well above the midpoint is housing-court posture at 8.4/10.
66% of occupied units are rented, so comparables are plentiful and vacancy risk is low, but a mispriced renewal loses the tenant to a building two streets over. On the softer side is eviction-process difficulty, at 1.7/10. At $828 a month, rents sit 22% under what the rest of Macon-Bibb County commands.
CDC survey data puts housing insecurity at 24.2% of adults, against 14.2% nationally. Court records carry 2,428 eviction filings across its 3 observed tracts. Filing activity peaked in 2006 at 25.9% of renter households.
The most recent observed rate, 15.2% in 2011, is well off that peak.
For a specific building, read the per-tract breakdown below rather than the 5 headline, because the internal range is too wide to average safely. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
