Green Street-Brenau Historic District Eviction Risk: Moderate

2 census tracts · pop 6,511 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 4.3/10 · range 3.7–4.8

Green Street-Brenau Historic District takes in 2 census tracts of Gainesville, GA and houses 6,511 people. The Eviction Risk Score is 4.3/10, in the Moderate tier. Against a Gainesville baseline of 34.5%, about half of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.

What pushes the score up most is tenant-organizing strength at 9.6/10. The severe-burden share is 29%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. Running cool is eviction-process difficulty, at 1.5/10.

Sitting well above the midpoint is rent-regulation exposure at 7.9/10. Scores across the 2 constituent tracts range from 3.7 to 4.8. A 1.1-point internal spread means block-level underwriting beats area-level here. That places it #19 of 21 neighborhoods in Gainesville.

The closest comparables inside the same city are Lanier Northwest and Westgate. Average gross rent runs $1,274, close to the Gainesville average. Annual rent works out to 21% of average household income of $73,245.

54% of occupied units are renter-occupied.

For a specific building, read the per-tract breakdown below rather than the 4.3 headline, because the internal range is too wide to average safely. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
