Running cool is eviction-process difficulty, at 1.8/10. The severe-burden share is 17%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay.
Sitting well above the midpoint is housing-court posture at 8.1/10. The voucher gap is 16.9%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears. That places it #4 of 4 neighborhoods in Statesboro.
The closest comparables inside the same city are Woodlawn Terrace and Somerset. Annual rent works out to 22% of average household income of $72,198.
47% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
