Brookstone maps to a single census tract in Columbus, GA and houses 4,970 people. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 3/10, Lower tier. The severe-burden share is 46%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay.
61% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, dramatically above the Columbus rate of 30.3%. At $1,742 a month, rents sit 58% over what the rest of Columbus commands.
The dominant input is supply constraint at 10/10. The voucher gap is 57.2%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears.
Well under the midpoint is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10. Running cool is economic stress, at 1.4/10. SNAP participation is 5.9% of households versus 15.2% nationally.
Food insecurity affects 8.9% of adults, 8.9 points below the national rate. That places it #39 of 48 neighborhoods in Columbus.
At 25% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out. The closest comparables inside the same city are Hunters Court and Fox Chapel.
Rent takes 19% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market. Poverty sits at 5%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.
One tract means one number: 3/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
