City Village Eviction Risk: Moderate

1 census tracts · pop 2,276 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 5/10 · range 5–5

City Village maps to a single census tract in Columbus, GA, population 2,276. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 5/10, Moderate tier. Severe burden reaches 39%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears.

Cost burden runs roughly three in four against 30.3% citywide, putting City Village 42.3% over its own city. Annualized rent equals 53% of average household income here, past the 30% affordability line, which compresses the margin any screening standard has to work with. 26.4% of adults report being unable to pay a utility bill, against a 9.2% national figure. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two.

This is a renter market: 90% of occupied units are tenant-occupied. Pulling the other way is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10. The poverty rate is 36%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest.

On the high side is economic stress at 8.9/10. At $818 a month, rents sit 26% under what the rest of Columbus commands.

22.1% of adults carry no health insurance against 11.3% nationally, a common route into sudden unpayable debt. Running cool is supply constraint, at 2.4/10. Among the 48 mapped neighborhoods of Columbus, it ranks #1 by risk, the upper third.

The closest comparables inside the same city are Benning Park and Rose Hill. Social vulnerability runs high at 9.5/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input.

Because the boundary contains one tract, 5/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
