Thornwood maps to a single census tract in Macon-Bibb County, GA and houses 4,697 people. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 3.2/10, in the Lower tier. The severe-burden share is 30%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay.
What pushes the score up most is tenant-organizing strength at 9/10. Sitting well above the midpoint is housing-court posture at 8.4/10.
Well under the midpoint is eviction-process difficulty, at 1.7/10. The filing record is not thin: 190 evictions logged in this tract.
Rent consumes at least 30% of income for 34% of renter households. Average gross rent is $1,215, 14% above the Macon-Bibb County average of $1,066. The worst year on record was 2010, when filings touched 12.7% of renter households.
The most recent observed rate, 5.7% in 2011, is well off that peak. Among the 31 mapped neighborhoods of Macon-Bibb County, it ranks #26 by risk, the lower third. At 20% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out.
The closest comparables inside the same city are Lokchapee and Whitehouse Plantation.
One tract means one number: 3.2/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
