Blackwood Hills spans 2 census tracts of Lilburn, GA, population 6,674. Scored across those inputs it reaches 4.7/10, placing it in the Moderate tier. Against a Lilburn baseline of 33.5%, 55% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.
30% 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. Annualized rent equals 32% of average household income here, past the 30% affordability line, which compresses the margin any screening standard has to work with.
Pulling the other way is economic stress, at 2/10. Scores across the 2 constituent tracts range from 3.9 to 5.4. A 1.5-point internal spread means block-level underwriting beats area-level here. CDC survey data puts housing insecurity at 23.4% of adults, against 14.2% nationally.
14.6% 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. Average gross rent is $1,662, 7% below the Lilburn average of $1,778. That places it #5 of 10 neighborhoods in Lilburn.
For a like-for-like read, Legends at Parkview and Carrefour Place score within a fraction of it. 58% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
For a specific building, read the per-tract breakdown below rather than the 4.7 headline, because the internal range is too wide to average safely. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
