Brannons Branch Eviction Risk: Moderate

What pushes the score up most is tenant-organizing strength at 9.6/10. Against a Lithia Springs baseline of 32.6%, 43% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line. Annualized rent equals 36% of average household income here, past the 30% affordability line, which compresses the margin any screening standard has to work with.

21.4% 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. On the softer side is eviction-process difficulty, at 1.7/10.

Severe burden reaches 15%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. Food insecurity affects 32.2% of adults, 14.4 points above the national rate.

The poverty rate is 21%, which shows up in this model as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. On the high side is rent-regulation exposure at 7.8/10.

That places it #1 of 6 neighborhoods in Lithia Springs. For a like-for-like read, Deerfield and Heritage Square score within a fraction of it.

Average gross rent runs $1,394, close to the Lithia Springs average.

One tract means one number: 5.5/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
