Sherwood Park maps to a single census tract in Austell, GA, population 3,273. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 5.4/10, in the Moderate tier. 62% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, dramatically above the Austell rate of 27.2%.
Annualized rent equals 36% of average household income here, past the 30% affordability line, which compresses the margin any screening standard has to work with. The main counterweight is eviction-process difficulty, at 1.7/10. The severe-burden share is 21%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay.
Sitting well above the midpoint is tenant-organizing strength at 7.7/10. CDC survey data puts housing insecurity at 22.4% of adults, against 14.2% nationally. Well under the midpoint is economic stress, at 2.7/10.
19.0% of adults carry no health insurance against 11.3% nationally, a common route into sudden unpayable debt. Average gross rent is $1,597, 7% above the Austell average of $1,494.
45% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
One tract means one number: 5.4/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
