Petersburg Station Eviction Risk: Moderate

1 census tracts · pop 5,116 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 4.6/10 · range 4.6–4.6

Petersburg Station maps to a single census tract in Martinez, GA and houses 5,116 people. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 4.6/10, Moderate tier. Cost burden runs 15% against 30.6% citywide, putting Petersburg Station 15.7% under its own city.

Pulling the other way is eviction-process difficulty, at 2.2/10. Severe burden reaches 9%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. Among the 6 mapped neighborhoods of Martinez, it ranks #2 by risk, the upper third.

Only 18% 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, Westwood and Holiday Park score within a fraction of it. Against average income of $94,731, annual rent is only 16%, a wide affordability cushion.

Average gross rent runs $1,276, close to the Martinez average.

Because the boundary contains one tract, 4.6/10 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.
