Wesleyan Hills maps to a single census tract in Macon-Bibb County, GA and houses 4,923 people. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 4.6/10, in the Moderate tier. about half of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, markedly above the Macon-Bibb County rate of 34.7%.
The dominant input is tenant-organizing strength at 9/10. Severe burden reaches 26%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. 69% 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 housing-court posture at 8.4/10. Average gross rent is $1,344, 26% above the Macon-Bibb County average of $1,066. Well under the midpoint is eviction-process difficulty, at 1.7/10.
The poverty rate is 23%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest. The filing record is not thin: 1,385 evictions logged in this tract.
Filing activity peaked in 2010 at 15.4% of renter households. Recent filings have not receded much: 12.1% in 2011 against a 15.4% peak. That places it #17 of 31 neighborhoods in Macon-Bibb County.
One tract means one number: 4.6/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
