Green Hills maps to a single census tract in Gainesville, GA and houses 3,707 people. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 6/10, in the Elevated tier. Against a Gainesville baseline of 34.5%, 51% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.
Food insecurity affects 45.1% of adults, 27.3 points above the national rate. The strongest single driver of the headline number is tenant-organizing strength at 9.6/10.
28% 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. 72% of occupied units are rented, so comparables are plentiful and vacancy risk is low, but a mispriced renewal loses the tenant to a building two streets over.
The poverty rate is 31%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest. Running cool is eviction-process difficulty, at 1.5/10.
Sitting well above the midpoint is rent-regulation exposure at 7.9/10. At $1,084 a month, rents sit 17% under what the rest of Gainesville commands.
Disability prevalence reaches 44.1% against a 31.5% national average, which raises the odds a reasonable-accommodation request accompanies any dispute. That places it #1 of 21 neighborhoods in Gainesville.
Social vulnerability runs high at 9.9/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input. Annual rent works out to 31% of average household income of $42,500.
One tract means one number: 6/10 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.
