Highland Village is a 2-tract neighborhood of Stockbridge, GA, population 8,437. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 4.4/10, in the Moderate tier. Against a Stockbridge baseline of 31.8%, 46% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.
The main counterweight is economic stress, at 1.8/10. This is a renter market: 65% of occupied units are tenant-occupied. The severe-burden share is 17%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay.
Well under the midpoint is supply constraint, at 2.3/10. Scores across the 2 constituent tracts range from 3.7 to 4.7. A 1-point internal spread means block-level underwriting beats area-level here.
The filing record is not thin: 4,936 evictions logged in this tract. Sitting well above the midpoint is tenant-organizing strength at 7.2/10.
Filing activity peaked in 2009 at 71.1% of renter households. At $1,345 a month, rents sit 10% under what the rest of Stockbridge commands. The most recent observed rate, 18.1% in 2016, is well off that peak.
Among the 10 mapped neighborhoods of Stockbridge, it ranks #4 by risk, the middle third. The closest comparables inside the same city are Oakwood Manor and Red Oak.
Annual rent works out to 25% of average household income of $65,537.
For a specific building, read the per-tract breakdown below rather than the 4.4 headline, because the internal range is too wide to average safely. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
