1 census tracts · pop 3,357 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 4/10
· range 4–4
Thomasville maps to a single census tract in Gresham Park, GA and houses 3,357 people. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 4/10, Moderate tier. 49% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, clearly above the Gresham Park rate of 32.8%.
What pushes the score up most is rent-regulation exposure at 9.1/10. Sitting well above the midpoint is housing-court posture at 8.3/10.
Severe burden reaches 19%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. Running cool is eviction-process difficulty, at 2/10.
Court records for this tract carry 1,369 eviction filings. CDC survey data puts housing insecurity at 21.7% of adults, against 14.2% nationally. Average gross rent is $1,330, 14% below the Gresham Park average of $1,542.
14.4% 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. The worst year on record was 2015, when filings touched 30.3% of renter households. Recent filings have not receded much: 25.9% in 2016 against a 30.3% peak.
Social vulnerability runs high at 8.5/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 4/10 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.
