Ansonborough Eviction Risk: Elevated

1 census tracts · pop 4,230 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 6.7/10 · range 6.7–6.7

Ansonborough maps to a single census tract in Athens, GA, population 4,230. The Eviction Risk Score is 6.7/10, in the Elevated tier. Against a Athens baseline of 35.9%, 57% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.

What pushes the score up most is tenant-organizing strength at 9.6/10. This is a renter market: 82% of occupied units are tenant-occupied. The severe-burden share is 23%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay.

Sitting well above the midpoint is housing-court posture at 8.6/10. On the high side is rent-regulation exposure at 8.5/10. The poverty rate is 26%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest.

At $1,052 a month, rents sit 14% under what the rest of Athens commands. That places it #9 of 26 neighborhoods in Athens. The closest comparables inside the same city are 850 and Habersham Hills.

Annual rent works out to 28% of average household income of $45,071.

Because the boundary contains one tract, 6.7/10 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.
