Riverside Eviction Risk: Moderate

2 census tracts · pop 5,777 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 5.1/10 · range 4.7–5.7

Riverside takes in 2 census tracts of Moultrie, GA, population 5,777. The Eviction Risk Score is 5.1/10, in the Moderate tier. 45% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, well above the Moultrie rate of 28.4%.

The strongest single driver of the headline number is tenant-organizing strength at 9.5/10. Food insecurity affects 42.0% of adults, 24.2 points above the national rate.

The poverty rate is 36%, which shows up in this model as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. Well under the midpoint is eviction-process difficulty, at 1.5/10.

17% 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. Scores across the 2 constituent tracts range from 4.7 to 5.7. A 1-point internal spread means block-level underwriting beats area-level here. The filing record is not thin: 103 evictions logged in this tract.

Running hot is economic stress at 7.5/10. Disability prevalence reaches 44.4% against a 31.5% national average, which raises the odds a reasonable-accommodation request accompanies any dispute. Filing activity peaked in 2012 at 21.5% of renter households.

At $726 a month, rents sit 8% under what the rest of Moultrie commands. Judgments average 4.4% of renter households a year, the share of filings that actually convert to an order.

Social vulnerability runs high at 8.7/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input.

Underwrite the address, not the area: with 1 points between its best and worst tract, the per-tract table below is the operative number. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
