Somerset Eviction Risk: Elevated

The dominant input is tenant-organizing strength at 9.9/10. The poverty rate is 48%, which shows up in this model as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment.

34% 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. 94% 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. Sitting well above the midpoint is economic stress at 9.7/10.

Food insecurity affects 34.4% of adults, 16.6 points above the national rate. SNAP participation is 31.2% of households versus 15.2% nationally. Running cool is eviction-process difficulty, at 1.8/10.

Among the 4 mapped neighborhoods of Statesboro, it ranks #1 by risk, the upper third. The closest comparables inside the same city are Pine Cove and Woodlawn Terrace. The 3 tracts here are tightly clustered, 0.2 points apart at the extremes.

Average gross rent runs $952, close to the Statesboro average.

With little internal variation, 7.3/10 is a fair proxy for any address inside the boundary. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
