· range 7.1–7.1
Dearing Street Historic District is a one-tract neighborhood of Athens, GA, population 3,167. Scored across those inputs it reaches 7.1/10, placing it in the Elevated tier. The dominant input is tenant-organizing strength at 9.6/10.
This is a renter market: 88% of occupied units are tenant-occupied. Severe burden reaches 29%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears.
Against a Athens baseline of 35.9%, 46% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line. Annualized rent equals 33% of average household income here, past the 30% affordability line, which compresses the margin any screening standard has to work with. Sitting well above the midpoint is housing-court posture at 8.6/10.
The poverty rate is 27%, which shows up in this model as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. On the high side is rent-regulation exposure at 8.5/10.
At $978 a month, rents sit 20% under what the rest of Athens commands. That places it #7 of 26 neighborhoods in Athens. For a like-for-like read, Five Points and The Retreat South score within a fraction of it.
Social vulnerability runs high at 7.6/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 7.1/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
