Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Pendergrass
Cost burden runs about three-quarters here against 38.4% across Jackson County. The dominant input is rent-regulation exposure at 9.5/10. At $973 a month, rents run 41% under what the rest of Pendergrass commands.
Well under the midpoint, economic stress reads 1.1/10. Running hot, court filing pressure reads 8.6/10. That is riskier than roughly 27% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.
Only 15% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin; price a renewal off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 5.9/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.
Rent consumes only 14% of average household income of $84,647, an unusually wide affordability cushion. Statewide the GA average is 4.2, so this tract runs 0.9 points cooler. Of its three components the housing type and transport measure is the least pressured.
Poverty sits at 4%, low enough that arrears here usually signal a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.
These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
