Gledstone Hills Eviction Risk: Lower

1 census tracts · pop 5,942 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 3/10 · range 3–3

Gledstone Hills is a one-tract neighborhood of Fairburn, GA and houses 5,942 people. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 3/10, Lower tier. 41% 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.

Cost burden runs 48% against 28.5% citywide, putting Gledstone Hills 19.5% over its own city. The main counterweight is economic stress, at 1/10. Average gross rent is $1,889, 28% above the Fairburn average of $1,479.

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 high side is tenant-organizing strength at 8.4/10.

CDC survey data puts housing insecurity at 25.8% of adults, against 14.2% nationally. Well under the midpoint is eviction-process difficulty, at 1.9/10.

Food insecurity affects 29.4% of adults, 11.6 points above the national rate. Poverty sits at 1%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.

Annual rent works out to 20% of average household income of $110,616.

Because the boundary contains one tract, 3/10 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.
