Lanier Valley Eviction Risk: Elevated
1 census tracts · pop 3,372 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 6/10 · range 6–6
Lanier Valley is a one-tract neighborhood of Gainesville, GA and houses 3,372 people. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 6/10, in the Elevated tier. Cost burden runs about half against 34.5% citywide, putting Lanier Valley 16.0% over its own city.
The dominant input is tenant-organizing strength at 9.6/10. On the softer side is eviction-process difficulty, at 1.5/10. This is a renter market: 67% of occupied units are tenant-occupied.
Severe burden reaches 21%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. The poverty rate is 24%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest.
At $1,580 a month, rents sit 22% over what the rest of Gainesville commands. On the high side is rent-regulation exposure at 7.9/10. Court records for this tract carry 85 eviction filings.
Filing activity peaked in 2003 at 14.9% of renter households. 17.4% of adults carry no health insurance against 11.3% nationally, a common route into sudden unpayable debt. That places it #1 of 21 neighborhoods in Gainesville.
Judgments average 7.2% of renter households a year, the share of filings that actually convert to an order. Social vulnerability runs high at 7.7/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 6/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
