Northcliff Colony is a one-tract neighborhood of Gainesville, GA and houses 3,209 people. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 4.5/10, in the Moderate tier. Against a Gainesville baseline of 34.5%, 62% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.
What pushes the score up most is tenant-organizing strength at 9.6/10. Well under the midpoint is eviction-process difficulty, at 1.5/10. 21% 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.
On the high side is rent-regulation exposure at 7.9/10. Among the 21 mapped neighborhoods of Gainesville, it ranks #16 by risk, the lower third. For a like-for-like read, Westgate and Pine Haven score within a fraction of it.
Social vulnerability runs high at 9.3/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input. Average gross rent runs $1,334, close to the Gainesville average. Annual rent works out to 23% of average household income of $70,560.
52% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 4.5/10 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.
