Homewood Hills is a one-tract neighborhood of Athens, GA, population 5,781. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 4.6/10, in the Moderate tier. Against a Athens baseline of 35.9%, 54% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.
The dominant input is tenant-organizing strength at 9.6/10. On the high side is housing-court posture at 8.6/10.
Sitting well above the midpoint is rent-regulation exposure at 8.5/10. The severe-burden share is 16%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. At $1,009 a month, rents sit 17% under what the rest of Athens commands.
19.9% of adults carry no health insurance against 11.3% nationally, a common route into sudden unpayable debt. That places it #20 of 26 neighborhoods in Athens. The closest comparables inside the same city are Winter Hills and Lavender Glen.
Social vulnerability runs high at 8.6/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input. Annual rent works out to 23% of average household income of $52,519.
31% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 4.6/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
