Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Waleska

On the high side, tenant-organizing strength reads 8.8/10. Against Cherokee County at 45.3%, 35% of renters here are cost-burdened. SNAP participation runs 6.3% against 15.2% nationally.

Food insecurity runs 9.6% against 17.8% nationally. Nationally it ranks #48,956 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty.

Only 14% 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 3.6/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.

Of its three components the household composition measure is the least pressured. It tracks the Cherokee County average of 4.0 closely.

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