Athens Eviction Risk: Elevated

Annualized rent equals 57% of average household income of $18,507, past the 30% affordability line, which thins the margin any screening standard has to work with. The dominant input is economic stress at 10/10. SNAP participation runs 51.8% against 15.2% nationally.

The poverty rate is 47%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. 69% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, markedly above the Clarke County average of 54.5%. On the high side, tenant-organizing strength reads 9.6/10.

Running hot, court filing pressure reads 8.9/10. This is renter territory: 73% of occupied units are tenant-occupied.

At $880 a month, rents run 28% under what the rest of Athens commands. Disability prevalence runs 45.6% against 31.5% nationally. Against the Clarke County average of 5.9, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.4 points.

That is riskier than roughly 87% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.

Tract-level figures come from the ACS 5-year release and are rebuilt whenever that, the court-record feed, or the statutory ledger behind the score changes.
