Glenwood Hills Eviction Risk: Moderate

6 census tracts · pop 19,641 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 4.4/10 · range 3.6–5.4

Glenwood Hills is a 6-tract neighborhood of Candler-McAfee, GA and houses 19,641 people. Scored across those inputs it reaches 4.4/10, placing it in the Moderate tier. 54% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, far above the Candler-McAfee rate of 31.5%.

27% 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. Pulling the other way is eviction-process difficulty, at 1.7/10.

Scores across the 6 constituent tracts range from 3.6 to 5.4. A 1.8-point internal spread means block-level underwriting beats area-level here. On the high side is rent-regulation exposure at 7.6/10.

At $1,225 a month, rents sit 18% under what the rest of Candler-McAfee commands. Court records carry 10,833 eviction filings across its 6 observed tracts.

Running hot is tenant-organizing strength at 7.2/10. Filing activity peaked in 2013 at 101.2% of renter households. The most recent observed rate, 28.0% in 2016, is well off that peak.

Social vulnerability runs high at 8.1/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input. Annual rent works out to 22% of average household income of $65,876.

39% of occupied units are renter-occupied.

Underwrite the address, not the area: with 1.8 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.
