Gaither Park maps to a single census tract in Lindale, GA and houses 5,256 people. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 5.6/10, Moderate tier. 39% 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.
61% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, well above the Lindale rate of 45.0%. The strongest single driver of the headline number is housing-court posture at 9/10.
Running hot is rent-regulation exposure at 8.9/10. Sitting well above the midpoint is tenant-organizing strength at 8.9/10.
The poverty rate is 28%, which shows up in this model as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. The filing record is not thin: 376 evictions logged in this tract. The worst year on record was 2014, when filings touched 13.0% of renter households.
Recent filings have not receded much: 11.7% in 2016 against a 13.0% peak. Average gross rent runs $1,064, close to the Lindale average.
Annual rent works out to 31% of average household income of $41,167. 43% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 5.6/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
