Winter Hills is a one-tract neighborhood of Athens, GA, population 5,780. The Eviction Risk Score is 4.5/10, in the Moderate tier. Against a Athens baseline of 35.9%, 52% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.
What pushes the score up most is tenant-organizing strength at 9.6/10. 30% 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.
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.
Average gross rent is $979, 20% below the Athens average of $1,219. Among the 26 mapped neighborhoods of Athens, it ranks #21 by risk, the lower third.
Social vulnerability runs high at 7.7/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input. Rent takes 15% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market. 34% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
One tract means one number: 4.5/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
