Tara Way maps to a single census tract in Athens, GA, population 1,948. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 4.5/10, Moderate tier. 60% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, dramatically above the Athens rate of 35.9%.
What pushes the score up most is tenant-organizing strength at 9.6/10. Running hot is housing-court posture at 8.6/10. Average gross rent is $898, 26% below the Athens average of $1,219.
Sitting well above the midpoint is rent-regulation exposure at 8.5/10. 12% are severely burdened, paying half their income or more in rent. That cohort has no absorption capacity for an unexpected bill, and it is where non-payment filings originate. That places it #21 of 26 neighborhoods in Athens.
The closest comparables inside the same city are Winter Hills and Lavender Glen. Social vulnerability runs high at 7.7/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input.
Rent takes 14% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market. 32% 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. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
