Cumberland Forest Eviction Risk: Moderate

1 census tracts · pop 5,334 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 4.3/10 · range 4.3–4.3

Cumberland Forest is a one-tract neighborhood of Powder Springs, GA, population 5,334. Scored across those inputs it reaches 4.3/10, placing it in the Moderate tier. The severe-burden share is 31%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay.

Pulling the other way is eviction-process difficulty, at 1.4/10. Average gross rent is $2,029, 28% above the Powder Springs average of $1,583.

Sitting well above the midpoint is rent-regulation exposure at 8.1/10. On the softer side is economic stress, at 2.8/10.

Against a Powder Springs baseline of 33.8%, 31% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line. The voucher gap is 10.9%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears.

That places it #3 of 5 neighborhoods in Powder Springs. Only 16% 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. For a like-for-like read, Quails Nest and Powder Springs Chase score within a fraction of it.

Annual rent works out to 27% of average household income of $89,030.

Because the boundary contains one tract, 4.3/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
