Lake Forest Eviction Risk: Moderate

1 census tracts · pop 5,040 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 4.9/10 · range 4.9–4.9

Lake Forest is a one-tract neighborhood of Woodstock, GA and houses 5,040 people. Scored across those inputs it reaches 4.9/10, placing it in the Moderate tier. roughly one in two of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, clearly above the Woodstock rate of 33.0%.

The severe-burden share is 26%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. The clearest offset is eviction-process difficulty, at 2.2/10. Running hot is rent-regulation exposure at 7.7/10.

On the high side is tenant-organizing strength at 7.3/10. That places it #5 of 14 neighborhoods in Woodstock. The closest comparables inside the same city are Audubon Forest and Cherokee Forest.

Average gross rent runs $1,738, close to the Woodstock average. Annual rent works out to 23% of average household income of $90,000. 59% of occupied units are renter-occupied.

Because the boundary contains one tract, 4.9/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
