Frontier Forest is a one-tract neighborhood of Sugar Hill, GA, population 2,775. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 3.6/10, Lower tier. Pulling the other way is economic stress, at 1.4/10.

Average gross rent is $1,367, 27% below the Sugar Hill average of $1,862. Sitting well above the midpoint is rent-regulation exposure at 8.3/10. The severe-burden share is 20%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay.
