Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Portal
What moves this score most is tenant organizing strength at 8.4/10. 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 Portal, while the economic and supply signals are measured at the tract level.
Set against its neighbors, this tract scores well below the Bulloch County average of 6.0 and below the Georgia statewide average of 5.6. Within its own county it reads on the safer side for landlords.
The tract is predominantly White and ranks around the 58th 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.
