Baker Ridge Eviction Risk: Lower

1 census tracts · pop 4,801 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 3/10 · range 3–3

Baker Ridge maps to a single census tract in Acworth, GA, population 4,801. Scored across those inputs it reaches 3/10, placing it in the Lower tier. Cost burden runs 74% against 31.6% citywide, putting Baker Ridge 42.7% over its own city.

Pulling the other way is economic stress, at 1/10. The severe-burden share is 26%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay.

Running hot is tenant-organizing strength at 8/10. On the softer side is eviction-process difficulty, at 2.2/10.

Court records for this tract carry 25 eviction filings. The worst year on record was 2016, when filings touched 12.3% of renter households.

SNAP participation is 7.1% of households versus 15.2% nationally. That places it #9 of 9 neighborhoods in Acworth. Judgments average 3.5% of renter households a year, the share of filings that actually convert to an order.

At 10% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out. Rent takes 17% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market. Poverty sits at 4%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.

One tract means one number: 3/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
