Hamby Place Eviction Risk: Lower

1 census tracts · pop 3,743 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 3.6/10 · range 3.6–3.6

Hamby Place maps to a single census tract in Kennesaw, GA and houses 3,743 people. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 3.6/10, Lower tier. Cost burden runs about one in five against 33.7% citywide, putting Hamby Place 13.5% under its own city.

Pulling the other way is economic stress, at 1.4/10. On the softer side is eviction-process difficulty, at 1.8/10. 18% 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.

Sitting well above the midpoint is rent-regulation exposure at 8/10. The voucher gap is 13.8%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears.

Average gross rent is $2,083, 13% above the Kennesaw average of $1,845. Among the 12 mapped neighborhoods of Kennesaw, it ranks #10 by risk, the lower third.

Only 17% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin here; price renewals off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices. The closest comparables inside the same city are Lullwater and Palisades. Poverty sits at 5%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.

Annual rent works out to 23% of average household income of $108,821.

Because the boundary contains one tract, 3.6/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
