Jackson Square Eviction Risk: Lower

2 census tracts · pop 8,681 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 3.6/10 · range 3.6–3.7

Jackson Square takes in 2 census tracts of Suwanee, GA and houses 8,681 people. Scored across those inputs it reaches 3.6/10, placing it in the Lower tier. 46% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, clearly above the Suwanee rate of 28.9%.

Severe burden reaches 25%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. Pulling the other way is economic stress, at 1.7/10.

Sitting well above the midpoint is tenant-organizing strength at 7.8/10. Well under the midpoint is eviction-process difficulty, at 2.3/10.

Court records for this tract carry 432 eviction filings. The worst year on record was 2010, when filings touched 20.3% of renter households.

Average gross rent is $1,710, 9% below the Suwanee average of $1,885. The most recent observed rate, 8.9% in 2016, is well off that peak. Poverty sits at 7%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.

The 2 tracts here are tightly clustered, 0.1 points apart at the extremes. Annual rent works out to 21% of average household income of $95,454.

The area figure travels well to individual addresses here, though the per-tract table below still carries the detail. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
