Glenwood is a one-tract neighborhood of Athens, GA, population 3,000. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 4.5/10, in the Moderate tier. Cost burden runs 61% against 35.9% citywide, putting Glenwood 24.8% over its own city.
The severe-burden share is 37%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. The strongest single driver of the headline number is tenant-organizing strength at 9.6/10. On the high side is housing-court posture at 8.6/10.
Running hot is rent-regulation exposure at 8.5/10. SNAP participation is 7.0% of households versus 15.2% nationally.
Food insecurity affects 9.4% of adults, 8.4 points below the national rate. Among the 26 mapped neighborhoods of Athens, it ranks #21 by risk, the lower third.
The closest comparables inside the same city are Winter Hills and Lavender Glen. Against average income of $72,819, annual rent is only 20%, a wide affordability cushion. Poverty sits at 7%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.
Average gross rent runs $1,212, close to the Athens average. 57% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 4.5/10 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.
