Hilton Heights maps to a single census tract in Columbus, GA and houses 2,756 people. The Eviction Risk Score is 3/10, in the Lower tier. At $2,182 a month, rents sit 97% over what the rest of Columbus commands.
The dominant input is supply constraint at 10/10. The voucher gap is 96.9%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears. Running cool is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10.
Rent consumes at least 30% of income for 31% of renter households. On the softer side is economic stress, at 2.3/10. CDC survey data puts housing insecurity at 6.7% of adults, against 14.2% nationally.
Food insecurity affects 6.9% of adults, 10.9 points below the national rate. Among the 48 mapped neighborhoods of Columbus, it ranks #39 by risk, the lower third.
At 5% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out. Annual rent works out to 21% of average household income of $125,521.
One tract means one number: 3/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
