Lincoln Heights Eviction Risk: Moderate

1 census tracts · pop 3,775 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 4.4/10 · range 4.4–4.4

Lincoln Heights is a one-tract neighborhood of Douglasville, GA and houses 3,775 people. The Eviction Risk Score is 4.4/10, in the Moderate tier. Against a Douglasville baseline of 30.7%, 62% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.

What pushes the score up most is tenant-organizing strength at 9.2/10. Severe burden reaches 28%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears.

Well under the midpoint is supply constraint, at 1.4/10. Average gross rent is $1,173, 26% below the Douglasville average of $1,582. Running cool is economic stress, at 1.7/10.

That places it #6 of 12 neighborhoods in Douglasville. For a like-for-like read, The Willows and Westwood Heights score within a fraction of it. Against average income of $74,755, annual rent is only 19%, a wide affordability cushion.

Poverty sits at 7%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. 31% of occupied units are renter-occupied.

One tract means one number: 4.4/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
