Forrest Place maps to a single census tract in Valdosta, GA, population 2,564. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 6.7/10, Elevated tier. Cost burden runs 51% against 34.6% citywide, putting Forrest Place 16.8% over its own city.
The strongest single driver of the headline number is economic stress at 10/10. SNAP participation is 60.6% of households versus 15.2% nationally.
Food insecurity affects 57.2% of adults, 39.4 points above the national rate. The poverty rate is 42%, which shows up in this model as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. 30% are severely burdened, paying half their income or more in rent. That cohort has no absorption capacity for an unexpected bill, and it is where non-payment filings originate.
On the high side is tenant-organizing strength at 9.6/10. Annualized rent equals 35% of average household income here, past the 30% affordability line, which compresses the margin any screening standard has to work with. Sitting well above the midpoint is housing-court posture at 8.1/10.
Average gross rent is $921, 13% below the Valdosta average of $1,054. Among the 14 mapped neighborhoods of Valdosta, it ranks #1 by risk, the upper third. For a like-for-like read, Prescott and Provident score within a fraction of it.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 6.7/10 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.
