Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Whispering Pines
The heaviest input here is tenant organizing strength at $1/10. That part comes from the wider legal climate rather than the tract itself. Statewide and court-level factors such as eviction-process speed and rent-control exposure are inherited from Macon-Bibb County eviction risk, while the economic and supply signals are measured at the tract level.
Set against its neighbors, this tract scores about the same as the Bibb County average of 6.8 and above the Georgia statewide average of 5.6. Within its own county it reads on the safer side for landlords.
The tract is Black and White and ranks around the 60th percentile nationally on the CDC Social Vulnerability Index, a measure of how exposed residents are to housing and economic shocks. That is a middle-of-the-pack reading for social vulnerability.
Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 287 eviction filings here over 8 tracked years, with about 12.7% of renter households facing a filing in a typical year. Filings peaked at 20.4% of renter households in 2008.
For a landlord, this is a tract where process discipline pays off. Clean paperwork and steady screening keep the elevated risk manageable.
