Walker Place Eviction Risk: Lower

1 census tracts · pop 6,534 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 3.7/10 · range 3.7–3.7

Walker Place maps to a single census tract in Lithia Springs, GA and houses 6,534 people. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 3.7/10, Lower tier. The dominant input is tenant-organizing strength at 9.6/10.

Running cool is economic stress, at 1.6/10. Well under the midpoint is eviction-process difficulty, at 1.7/10.

Cost burden runs 38% against 32.6% citywide, putting Walker Place 5.7% over its own city. Severe burden reaches 11%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. At $1,601 a month, rents sit 14% over what the rest of Lithia Springs commands.

Among the 6 mapped neighborhoods of Lithia Springs, it ranks #6 by risk, the lower third. Only 19% 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. Social vulnerability runs high at 9/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input.

Poverty sits at 6%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. Annual rent works out to 23% of average household income of $84,399.

One tract means one number: 3.7/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
