Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Gainesville

Cost burden runs roughly one in three here against 44.6% across Hall County. On the high side, court filing pressure reads 9/10. Severe burden reaches 21%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate.

On the softer side, eviction-process difficulty reads 1.5/10. It sits 1.4 points above the Hall County average of 4.3.

The poverty rate is 20%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. Housing insecurity runs 24.0% against 14.2% nationally.

SNAP participation runs 24.2% against 15.2% nationally. At $1,140 a month, rents run 12% under what the rest of Gainesville commands. That is riskier than roughly 74% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.

CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 8.5/10. Statewide the GA average is 4.2, so this tract runs 1.5 points hotter.

Tract-level figures come from the ACS 5-year release and are rebuilt whenever that, the court-record feed, or the statutory ledger behind the score changes.
