Forest River Eviction Risk: Moderate

2 census tracts · pop 7,400 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 5.3/10 · range 4.5–6

Forest River is a 2-tract neighborhood of Lawrenceville, GA and houses 7,400 people. Scored across those inputs it reaches 5.3/10, placing it in the Moderate tier. The severe-burden share is 51%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay.

Against a Lawrenceville baseline of 37.1%, 73% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line. The dominant input is tenant-organizing strength at 9.2/10.

Set annual rent against average household income of $66,563 and the ratio lands at 35%, above the conventional 30% ceiling. Sitting well above the midpoint is rent-regulation exposure at 8.7/10. The 2 tracts inside this boundary do not behave alike. Individual scores run 4.5 to 6, a 1.5-point gap wide enough that the area average misleads on any specific address.

The poverty rate is 23%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest. On the high side is housing-court posture at 8/10.

At $1,931 a month, rents sit 20% over what the rest of Lawrenceville commands. Among the 17 mapped neighborhoods of Lawrenceville, it ranks #5 by risk, the upper third.

For a like-for-like read, Hanarry Estates and Summerville score within a fraction of it. Social vulnerability runs high at 8.5/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input. 59% of occupied units are renter-occupied.

For a specific building, read the per-tract breakdown below rather than the 5.3 headline, because the internal range is too wide to average safely. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
