McDonough Eviction Risk: Moderate

74% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, well clear of the Henry County average of 44.7%. What pushes it up most is court filing pressure at 9.8/10. Running hot, economic stress reads 9.8/10.

Annualized rent equals 44% of average household income of $35,132, past the 30% affordability line, which thins the margin any screening standard has to work with. The poverty rate is 39%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest.

Food insecurity runs 37.1% against 17.8% nationally. On the high side, tenant-organizing strength reads 9.1/10. This is renter territory: 68% of occupied units are tenant-occupied.

Average gross rent is $1,302, 27% below the McDonough average. It sits 1.7 points above the Henry County average of 4.1.

Inability to pay a utility bill runs 21.9% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two. Nationally it ranks #20,506 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. Social vulnerability reads 8.9/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.

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.
