River Oaks maps to a single census tract in Wilmington Island, GA and houses 5,344 people. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 3/10, in the Lower tier. The main counterweight is economic stress, at 1/10.
Cost burden runs 39% against 29.8% citywide, putting River Oaks 9.1% over its own city. Well under the midpoint is eviction-process difficulty, at 2.1/10.
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. The filing record is not thin: 75 evictions logged in this tract. The voucher gap is 12.3%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears.
SNAP participation is 6.1% of households versus 15.2% nationally. Food insecurity affects 8.5% of adults, 9.3 points below the national rate.
The worst year on record was 2011, when filings touched 11.1% of renter households. Judgments average 1.9% of renter households a year, the share of filings that actually convert to an order.
Only 28% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin here; price renewals off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices. Poverty sits at 4%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.
One tract means one number: 3/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
