Sitting well above the midpoint, tenant-organizing strength reads 9.6/10. Running hot, court filing pressure reads 9.5/10.
Set annual rent against average income of $31,458 and the ratio lands at 35%, above the conventional 30% ceiling. Against the Lowndes County average of 4.9, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.8 points.
Against Lowndes County at 42.1%, about half of renters here are cost-burdened. At $921 a month, rents run 13% under what the rest of Valdosta commands.
That is riskier than roughly 83% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 9.9/10.
