Lullwater Eviction Risk: Lower

1 census tracts · pop 3,588 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 3/10 · range 3–3

Lullwater is a one-tract neighborhood of Kennesaw, GA, population 3,588. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 3/10, in the Lower tier. The clearest offset is economic stress, at 1/10.

On the softer side is eviction-process difficulty, at 1.8/10. Running hot is rent-regulation exposure at 8/10. The voucher gap is 18.0%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears.

At $2,159 a month, rents sit 17% over what the rest of Kennesaw commands. The severe-burden share is 12%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. Against a Kennesaw baseline of 33.7%, 30% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.

Among the 12 mapped neighborhoods of Kennesaw, it ranks #11 by risk, the lower third. At 15% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out. The closest comparables inside the same city are Palisades and Hamby Place.

Poverty sits at 4%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. Annual rent works out to 20% of average household income of $129,393.

Because the boundary contains one tract, 3/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
