Park Place South Eviction Risk: Moderate

1 census tracts · pop 5,297 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 5.7/10 · range 5.7–5.7

Park Place South is a one-tract neighborhood of College Park, GA and houses 5,297 people. Scored across those inputs it reaches 5.7/10, placing it in the Moderate tier. Cost burden runs roughly two in three against 32.5% citywide, putting Park Place South 32.8% over its own city.

The dominant input is tenant-organizing strength at 9.9/10. 32% 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.

Running cool is eviction-process difficulty, at 1.5/10. 66% 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. On the softer side is supply constraint, at 1.6/10.

19.0% 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. The filing record is not thin: 5,558 evictions logged in this tract. Food insecurity affects 29.2% of adults, 11.4 points above the national rate.

The worst year on record was 2002, when filings touched 65.5% of renter households. The most recent observed rate, 38.6% in 2016, is well off that peak. That places it #3 of 4 neighborhoods in College Park.

For a like-for-like read, Normandy and Elmwood score within a fraction of it. Social vulnerability runs high at 7.9/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input.

Average gross rent runs $1,205, close to the College Park average.

One tract means one number: 5.7/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
