Laurel Grove takes in 2 census tracts of Milton, GA, population 8,474. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 3/10, in the Lower tier. At $749 a month, rents sit 64% under what the rest of Milton commands.
Pulling the other way is economic stress, at 1/10. Running cool is eviction-process difficulty, at 1.6/10.
17% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, lower than the Milton rate of 23.3%. Food insecurity affects 6.2% of adults, 11.6 points below the national rate.
Disability prevalence reaches 19.2% against a 31.5% national average, which raises the odds a reasonable-accommodation request accompanies any dispute. That places it #2 of 7 neighborhoods in Milton. At 3% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out.
For a like-for-like read, The Grove and Litchfield Hundred score within a fraction of it. Rent takes 4% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market. Poverty sits at 1%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.
The 2 tracts here are tightly clustered, 0 points apart at the extremes.
With little internal variation, 3/10 is a fair proxy for any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
