Waverly Place Eviction Risk: Elevated

The strongest single driver of the headline number is economic stress at 10/10. Food insecurity affects 48.8% of adults, 31.0 points above the national rate.

The poverty rate is 42%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest. Set annual rent against average household income of $22,396 and the ratio lands at 44%, above the conventional 30% ceiling. 79% 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 high side is tenant-organizing strength at 9/10. 23% 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.

On the softer side is supply constraint, at 1.5/10. Disability prevalence reaches 50.6% against a 31.5% national average, which raises the odds a reasonable-accommodation request accompanies any dispute. At $814 a month, rents sit 24% under what the rest of Macon-Bibb County commands.

Court records for this tract carry 959 eviction filings. Filing activity peaked in 2007 at 39.5% of renter households. The most recent observed rate, 18.8% in 2011, is well off that peak.

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.
