Five Points is a one-tract neighborhood of Athens, GA and houses 4,048 people. The Eviction Risk Score is 7.3/10, in the Elevated tier. The severe-burden share is 46%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay.
Against a Athens baseline of 35.9%, around two-thirds of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line. The strongest single driver of the headline number is economic stress at 10/10.
The poverty rate is 47%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest. Sitting well above the midpoint is tenant-organizing strength at 9.6/10. Annualized rent equals 39% of average household income here, past the 30% affordability line, which compresses the margin any screening standard has to work with.
This is a renter market: 75% of occupied units are tenant-occupied. Running hot is housing-court posture at 8.6/10.
Among the 26 mapped neighborhoods of Athens, it ranks #1 by risk, the upper third. The closest comparables inside the same city are The Retreat South and Carr's Hill. Average gross rent runs $1,159, close to the Athens average.
One tract means one number: 7.3/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
