Leesburg is a one-tract neighborhood of Columbus, GA, population 6,114. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 3.4/10, Lower tier. Against a Columbus baseline of 30.3%, 58% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.
28% 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. The main counterweight is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10.
Running cool is eviction-process difficulty, at 2.5/10. On the softer side is tenant-organizing strength, at 2.5/10.
Among the 48 mapped neighborhoods of Columbus, it ranks #32 by risk, the lower third. For a like-for-like read, The Vinings and Innsbrook score within a fraction of it.
Social vulnerability runs high at 8/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input. Average gross rent runs $1,112, close to the Columbus average.
Annual rent works out to 22% of average household income of $62,026. 35% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 3.4/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
