Swift Creek takes in 3 census tracts of Redan, GA and houses 13,510 people. Scored across those inputs it reaches 5.2/10, placing it in the Moderate tier. Cost burden runs 70% against 42.8% citywide, putting Swift Creek 27.3% over its own city.
38% 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. The 3 tracts inside this boundary do not behave alike. Individual scores run 4.2 to 6.2, a 2-point gap wide enough that the area average misleads on any specific address.
The poverty rate is 25%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest. Average gross rent is $1,220, 22% below the Redan average of $1,566. The main counterweight is eviction-process difficulty, at 2.7/10.
17.0% 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. CDC survey data puts housing insecurity at 22.9% of adults, against 14.2% nationally. Sitting well above the midpoint is tenant-organizing strength at 7.3/10.
The filing record is not thin: 1,166 evictions logged in this tract. The worst year on record was 2014, when filings touched 47.0% of renter households. Recent filings have not receded much: 41.3% in 2016 against a 47.0% peak.
Only 17% 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. Annual rent works out to 22% of average household income of $67,726.
For a specific building, read the per-tract breakdown below rather than the 5.2 headline, because the internal range is too wide to average safely. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
