Newton Plantation Eviction Risk: Lower

1 census tracts · pop 3,351 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 3/10 · range 3–3

Newton Plantation is a one-tract neighborhood of Riverdale, GA and houses 3,351 people. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 3/10, in the Lower tier. Against a Riverdale baseline of 33.5%, 74% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.

The severe-burden share is 35%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. The clearest offset is economic stress, at 1/10.

Running hot is tenant-organizing strength at 8.9/10. Annualized rent equals 32% 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. At $1,595 a month, rents sit 17% over what the rest of Riverdale commands.

CDC survey data puts housing insecurity at 22.3% of adults, against 14.2% nationally. 14.2% of adults report being unable to pay a utility bill, against a 9.2% national figure. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two.

Among the 11 mapped neighborhoods of Riverdale, it ranks #9 by risk, the lower third. Poverty sits at 4%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. 41% of occupied units are renter-occupied.

Because the boundary contains one tract, 3/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
