Swanson Eviction Risk: Moderate , Athens

25% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. On the high side, court filing pressure reads 8.9/10. Sitting well above the midpoint, housing-court posture reads 8.6/10.

Average gross rent is $1,420, 16% above the Athens average. The voucher gap is 15.9%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears.

It sits 0.8 points below the Clarke County average of 5.9. That is riskier than roughly 63% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 6/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.

Statewide the GA average is 4.2, so this tract runs 0.9 points hotter. 51% of renter households spend at least 30% of income on rent.

Annual rent works out to 30% of average household income of $57,670.
