Lincoln Hills Eviction Risk: Lower

1 census tracts · pop 7,365 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 3/10 · range 3–3

Lincoln Hills is a one-tract neighborhood of Columbus, GA and houses 7,365 people. Scored across those inputs it reaches 3/10, placing it in the Lower tier. 57% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, well clear of the Columbus rate of 30.3%.

The main counterweight is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10. Severe burden reaches 25%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. Running cool is eviction-process difficulty, at 2.5/10.

The voucher gap is 15.9%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears. Well under the midpoint is tenant-organizing strength, at 2.5/10.

Average gross rent is $1,284, 16% above the Columbus average of $1,106. Among the 48 mapped neighborhoods of Columbus, it ranks #39 by risk, the lower third.

28% of occupied units are renter-occupied.

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.
