Greenwood Eviction Risk: Moderate

1 census tracts · pop 2,651 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 4.9/10 · range 4.9–4.9

Greenwood maps to a single census tract in McDonough, GA and houses 2,651 people. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 4.9/10, in the Moderate tier. The dominant input is tenant-organizing strength at 9.1/10.

On the high side is rent-regulation exposure at 8.3/10. 30% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, under the McDonough rate of 37.1%. Severe burden reaches 14%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears.

On the softer side is eviction-process difficulty, at 2.2/10. 16.2% of adults report being unable to pay a utility bill, against a 9.2% national figure. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two. The poverty rate is 17%, which shows up in this model as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment.

SNAP participation is 23.8% of households versus 15.2% nationally. Average gross rent is $1,608, 10% below the McDonough average of $1,792.

At 28% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out. Annual rent works out to 20% of average household income of $95,303.

Because the boundary contains one tract, 4.9/10 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.
