On the high side 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. Average gross rent is $987, 19% below the Athens average of $1,219.
SNAP participation is 5.9% of households versus 15.2% nationally. Food insecurity affects 8.3% of adults, 9.5 points below the national rate.
That places it #16 of 26 neighborhoods in Athens. Against average income of $70,789, annual rent is only 17%, a wide affordability cushion.
54% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
One tract means one number: 4.8/10 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.
