Chestnut Oak Hills maps to a single census tract in Gainesville, GA and houses 3,074 people. The Eviction Risk Score is 5.1/10, in the Moderate tier. Against a Gainesville baseline of 34.5%, roughly two in three of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.
37% 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. The strongest single driver of the headline number is tenant-organizing strength at 9.6/10.
At $838 a month, rents sit 35% under what the rest of Gainesville commands. Running cool is supply constraint, at 1/10.
On the softer side is eviction-process difficulty, at 1.5/10. CDC survey data puts housing insecurity at 23.9% of adults, against 14.2% nationally. Food insecurity affects 29.9% of adults, 12.1 points above the national rate.
The poverty rate is 18%, which shows up in this model as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. That places it #10 of 21 neighborhoods in Gainesville.
Only 27% 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. Rent takes 13% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market.
One tract means one number: 5.1/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
