Sherwood Forest maps to a single census tract in Morrow, GA, population 6,710. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 4.9/10, in the Moderate tier. Against a Morrow baseline of 29.5%, around two-thirds of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.
SNAP participation is 43.1% of households versus 15.2% nationally. CDC survey data puts housing insecurity at 37.1% of adults, against 14.2% nationally.
The strongest single driver of the headline number is tenant-organizing strength at 9.3/10. Severe burden reaches 30%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears.
This is a renter market: 82% of occupied units are tenant-occupied. Annualized rent equals 35% of average household income here, past the 30% affordability line, which compresses the margin any screening standard has to work with. On the softer side is eviction-process difficulty, at 1.5/10.
Running cool is supply constraint, at 2.1/10. Court records for this tract carry 9,648 eviction filings.
The poverty rate is 17%, which shows up in this model as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. At $1,307 a month, rents sit 14% under what the rest of Morrow commands.
One tract means one number: 4.9/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
