Morningside is a one-tract neighborhood of Albany, GA and houses 3,121 people. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 5/10, in the Moderate tier. 34.4% 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 strongest single driver of the headline number is economic stress at 10/10. SNAP participation is 60.8% of households versus 15.2% nationally. The poverty rate is 45%, which shows up in this model as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment.
On the softer side is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10. 70% of occupied units are rented, so comparables are plentiful and vacancy risk is low, but a mispriced renewal loses the tenant to a building two streets over.
Cost burden runs 38% against 29.7% citywide, putting Morningside 8.7% over its own city. 17% 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.
Running cool is supply constraint, at 3/10. Average gross rent is $869, 7% below the Albany average of $931.
Among the 14 mapped neighborhoods of Albany, it ranks #9 by risk, the middle third. The closest comparables inside the same city are Hollywood and Forest Park. Social vulnerability runs high at 9.1/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 5/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
