Bowdon Eviction Risk: Lower

Cost burden runs around a third here against 46.6% across Carroll County. Running hot, tenant-organizing strength reads 9/10.

On the softer side, supply constraint reads 1/10. Average gross rent is $767, 17% below the Bowdon average. Against the Carroll County average of 4.2, this tract reads safer for landlords by 0.9 points.

Severe burden reaches 9%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. That is riskier than roughly 27% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.

Only 25% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin; price a renewal off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 5.8/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.

Rent consumes only 13% of average household income of $72,500, an unusually wide affordability cushion. Statewide the GA average is 4.2, so this tract runs 0.9 points cooler.

Poverty sits at 5%, low enough that arrears here usually signal a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.

These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
