Woodlawn Terrace Eviction Risk: Elevated

1 census tracts · pop 4,536 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 6.5/10 · range 6.5–6.5

Woodlawn Terrace maps to a single census tract in Statesboro, GA and houses 4,536 people. The Eviction Risk Score is 6.5/10, in the Elevated tier. The strongest single driver of the headline number is tenant-organizing strength at 9.9/10.

72% 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. Running cool is eviction-process difficulty, at 1.8/10.

18% 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. The poverty rate is 25%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest.

On the high side is housing-court posture at 8.1/10. Cost burden runs 36% against 29.3% citywide, putting Woodlawn Terrace 6.6% over its own city.

The filing record is not thin: 320 evictions logged in this tract. Filing activity peaked in 2009 at 12.6% of renter households.

Among the 4 mapped neighborhoods of Statesboro, it ranks #3 by risk, the lower third. Judgments average 0.8% of renter households a year, the share of filings that actually convert to an order. For a like-for-like read, Somerset and Pine Cove score within a fraction of it.

One tract means one number: 6.5/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
