Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Bridgewater

The dominant input is tenant-organizing strength at 9.6/10. On the high side, court filing pressure reads 8.9/10.

69% of occupied units are rented, so comparables are plentiful and vacancy risk is low, but a mispriced renewal loses the tenant to a building nearby. Running hot, housing-court posture reads 8.6/10. The poverty rate is 25%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest.

That is riskier than roughly 81% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. Social vulnerability reads 3.8/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.

Statewide the GA average is 4.2, so this tract runs 2.2 points hotter. Of its three components the household composition measure is the least pressured. 56% of renter households spend at least 30% of income on rent.

It tracks the Clarke County average of 5.9 closely. Average gross rent is $1,238, close to the Athens average. Annual rent works out to 29% of average household income of $51,832.

Tract-level figures come from the ACS 5-year release and are rebuilt whenever that, the court-record feed, or the statutory ledger behind the score changes.
