Southwind maps to a single census tract in Wilmington Island, GA, population 2,656. Scored across those inputs it reaches 3/10, placing it in the Lower tier. Against a Wilmington Island baseline of 29.8%, roughly one in eight of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.
The main counterweight is economic stress, at 1/10. Well under the midpoint is eviction-process difficulty, at 2.1/10. Severe burden reaches 12%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears.
Court records for this tract carry 8 eviction filings. CDC survey data puts housing insecurity at 6.9% of adults, against 14.2% nationally. Food insecurity affects 7.4% of adults, 10.4 points below the national rate.
Filing activity peaked in 2011 at 5.2% of renter households. Judgments average 0.7% of renter households a year, the share of filings that actually convert to an order. At 5% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out.
Rent takes 18% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market. Poverty sits at 3%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. Average gross rent runs $1,688, close to the Wilmington Island average.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 3/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
