Jackson Township maps to a single census tract in Lawrenceville, GA and houses 4,243 people. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 5.8/10, in the Moderate tier. Against a Lawrenceville baseline of 37.1%, 58% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.
Severe burden reaches 32%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. The strongest single driver of the headline number is tenant-organizing strength at 9.2/10.
Running hot is rent-regulation exposure at 8.7/10. On the high side is housing-court posture at 8/10. Food insecurity affects 29.9% of adults, 12.1 points above the national rate.
The poverty rate is 16%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest. 14.7% of adults report being unable to pay a utility bill, against a 9.2% national figure. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two.
At $1,751 a month, rents sit 9% over what the rest of Lawrenceville commands. That places it #3 of 17 neighborhoods in Lawrenceville.
Social vulnerability runs high at 7.6/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input. Annual rent works out to 32% of average household income of $66,417. 61% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 5.8/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
