South Oaks Eviction Risk: Lower

2 census tracts · pop 7,438 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 3.9/10 · range 3.3–4.2

South Oaks takes in 2 census tracts of Warner Robins, GA, population 7,438. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 3.9/10, Lower tier. The clearest offset is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10.

Average gross rent is $1,609, 33% above the Warner Robins average of $1,212. Running cool is tenant-organizing strength, at 1.5/10.

Severe burden reaches 21%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. The voucher gap is 23.6%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears. Well under the midpoint is eviction-process difficulty, at 2/10.

34% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, above the Warner Robins rate of 29.5%. That places it #8 of 18 neighborhoods in Warner Robins.

For a like-for-like read, Sonja Heights and Wrights Mill score within a fraction of it. The 2 tracts here are tightly clustered, 0.9 points apart at the extremes. Annual rent works out to 24% of average household income of $79,911.

29% of occupied units are renter-occupied.

The area figure travels well to individual addresses here, though the per-tract table below still carries the detail. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
