Leslie is a 2-tract neighborhood of Candler-McAfee, GA, population 9,628. Scored across those inputs it reaches 5.4/10, placing it in the Moderate tier. Cost burden runs 70% against 31.5% citywide, putting Leslie 38.9% over its own city.
Severe burden reaches 29%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. The poverty rate is 29%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest.
What pushes the score up most is economic stress at 7.3/10. 16.0% 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. Running cool is eviction-process difficulty, at 2.8/10.
Filings are well documented here: 4,228 across 2 observed tracts. Food insecurity affects 27.6% of adults, 9.8 points above the national rate.
The worst year on record was 2012, when filings touched 72.3% of renter households. Average gross rent is $1,665, 11% above the Candler-McAfee average of $1,498. The most recent observed rate, 38.8% in 2016, is well off that peak.
At 22% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out. Social vulnerability runs high at 7.6/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input.
The area figure travels well to individual addresses here, though the per-tract table below still carries the detail. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
