Regal Estates maps to a single census tract in Lawrenceville, GA and houses 7,037 people. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 6/10, Elevated tier. What pushes the score up most is tenant-organizing strength at 9.2/10.
Sitting well above the midpoint is rent-regulation exposure at 8.7/10. 69% of occupied units are rented, so comparables are plentiful and vacancy risk is low, but a mispriced renewal loses the tenant to a building two streets over. 22% are severely burdened, paying half their income or more in rent. That cohort has no absorption capacity for an unexpected bill, and it is where non-payment filings originate.
Against a Lawrenceville baseline of 37.1%, 45% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line. Running hot is housing-court posture at 8/10.
22.3% of adults carry no health insurance against 11.3% nationally, a common route into sudden unpayable debt. The poverty rate is 21%, which shows up in this model as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment.
Court records for this tract carry 2,806 eviction filings. CDC survey data puts housing insecurity at 21.6% of adults, against 14.2% nationally. Filing activity peaked in 2004 at 39.4% of renter households.
Average gross rent is $1,427, 12% below the Lawrenceville average of $1,613. The most recent observed rate, 14.2% in 2016, is well off that peak.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 6/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
