Hillcrest Valley is a one-tract neighborhood of Mableton, GA and houses 4,799 people. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 5.4/10, in the Moderate tier. 73% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, far above the Mableton rate of 32.8%.
The severe-burden share is 33%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. The main counterweight is supply constraint, at 1.7/10.
Well under the midpoint is eviction-process difficulty, at 2/10. 16.9% 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. The poverty rate is 21%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest.
Average gross rent is $1,234, 16% below the Mableton average of $1,472. Sitting well above the midpoint is rent-regulation exposure at 7.1/10. 18.2% of adults carry no health insurance against 11.3% nationally, a common route into sudden unpayable debt.
That places it #1 of 9 neighborhoods in Mableton. Social vulnerability runs high at 9/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input. Annual rent works out to 31% of average household income of $48,523.
47% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 5.4/10 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.
