Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Buford
What moves this score most is rent-control risk at 6.7/10. That part comes from the wider legal climate rather than the tract itself. Statewide and court-level factors such as eviction-process speed and rent-control exposure are inherited from Buford, while the economic and supply signals are measured at the tract level.
Set against its neighbors, this tract scores about the same as the Gwinnett County average of 5.8 and in line with the Georgia statewide average of 5.6. Within its own county it reads on the riskier side for landlords.
In CDC survey modeling, about 17.5% of adults here said they could not pay rent or mortgage at some point in the past year, and 9.7% faced a utility shutoff threat, a common early warning before a filing.
The tract is Hispanic or Latino and White and ranks around the 75th percentile nationally on the CDC Social Vulnerability Index, a measure of how exposed residents are to housing and economic shocks. High vulnerability tends to track with higher eviction-filing rates when rents climb.
For a landlord, conditions here are middle-of-the-road. Standard screening and prompt, documented notices usually keep cases short.
