South Ree Springs Eviction Risk: Elevated

1 census tracts · pop 6,442 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 6.7/10 · range 6.7–6.7

South Ree Springs maps to a single census tract in Valdosta, GA and houses 6,442 people. Scored across those inputs it reaches 6.7/10, placing it in the Elevated tier. Cost burden runs roughly one in two against 34.6% citywide, putting South Ree Springs 15.9% over its own city.

The dominant input is economic stress at 10/10. The poverty rate is 48%, which shows up in this model as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. Running hot is tenant-organizing strength at 9.6/10.

81% of occupied units are rented, so comparables are plentiful and vacancy risk is low, but a mispriced renewal loses the tenant to a building two streets over. Annualized rent equals 36% of average household income here, past the 30% affordability line, which compresses the margin any screening standard has to work with. SNAP participation is 35.8% of households versus 15.2% nationally.

24% 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. CDC survey data puts housing insecurity at 27.0% of adults, against 14.2% nationally. Sitting well above the midpoint is housing-court posture at 8.1/10.

That places it #1 of 14 neighborhoods in Valdosta. Average gross rent runs $1,071, close to the Valdosta average.

One tract means one number: 6.7/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
