Charter Oaks maps to a single census tract in Columbus, GA and houses 7,100 people. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 3/10, in the Lower tier. Against a Columbus baseline of 30.3%, 50% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.
31% 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. Pulling the other way is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10. Well under the midpoint is eviction-process difficulty, at 2.5/10.
On the softer side is tenant-organizing strength, at 2.5/10. The voucher gap is 14.0%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears.
Average gross rent is $1,263, 14% above the Columbus average of $1,106. Among the 48 mapped neighborhoods of Columbus, it ranks #39 by risk, the lower third.
The closest comparables inside the same city are Brookstone and Fox Chapel. Annual rent works out to 22% of average household income of $68,162. 44% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
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.
