The Oaks at Lanier Eviction Risk: Lower

4 census tracts · pop 17,951 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 3.8/10 · range 3–5.2

The Oaks at Lanier takes in 4 census tracts of Sugar Hill, GA and houses 17,951 people. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 3.8/10, Lower tier. Scores across the 4 constituent tracts range from 3 to 5.2. A 2.2-point internal spread means block-level underwriting beats area-level here.

The strongest single driver of the headline number is rent-regulation exposure at 8.3/10. The severe-burden share is 19%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. 43% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, higher than the Sugar Hill rate of 35.6%.

Running cool is eviction-process difficulty, at 2.2/10. On the softer side is economic stress, at 2.8/10. Only 23% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin here; price renewals off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices.

Average gross rent runs $1,793, close to the Sugar Hill average. Annual rent works out to 21% of average household income of $104,427.

For a specific building, read the per-tract breakdown below rather than the 3.8 headline, because the internal range is too wide to average safely. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
