Rio Vista spans 2 census tracts of Albany, GA, population 3,937. The Eviction Risk Score is 5.2/10, in the Moderate tier. Against a Albany baseline of 29.7%, 49% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.
What pushes the score up most is economic stress at 10/10. The poverty rate is 47%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest.
SNAP participation is 52.2% of households versus 15.2% nationally. Severe burden reaches 32%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears.
Running cool is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10. 74% 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.
Disability prevalence reaches 47.6% against a 31.5% national average, which raises the odds a reasonable-accommodation request accompanies any dispute. On the softer side is supply constraint, at 2.2/10. At $775 a month, rents sit 17% under what the rest of Albany commands.
Filings are well documented here: 495 across 2 observed tracts. Filing activity peaked in 2003 at 64.0% of renter households.
Among the 14 mapped neighborhoods of Albany, it ranks #4 by risk, the upper third. Judgments average 1.6% of renter households a year, the share of filings that actually convert to an order.
With little internal variation, 5.2/10 is a fair proxy for any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
