Chatham Park Eviction Risk: Moderate

1 census tracts · pop 4,072 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 4.1/10 · range 4.1–4.1

Chatham Park maps to a single census tract in Lawrenceville, GA and houses 4,072 people. Scored across those inputs it reaches 4.1/10, placing it in the Moderate tier. Average gross rent is $2,368, 47% above the Lawrenceville average of $1,613.

The dominant input is tenant-organizing strength at 9.2/10. The voucher gap is 29.4%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears.

Sitting well above the midpoint is rent-regulation exposure at 8.7/10. Well under the midpoint is economic stress, at 1.6/10. Severe burden reaches 18%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears.

Rent consumes at least 30% of income for 37% of renter households. Among the 17 mapped neighborhoods of Lawrenceville, it ranks #13 by risk, the lower third. Only 26% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin here; price renewals off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices.

For a like-for-like read, Hunting Creek and Wynfield score within a fraction of it. Poverty sits at 6%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.

Annual rent works out to 31% of average household income of $92,273.

One tract means one number: 4.1/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
