Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Fort Oglethorpe

Of its three components the socioeconomic standing measure is the most pressured. Average gross rent is $985, close to the Fort Oglethorpe average.

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