Parkchester maps to a single census tract in Columbus, GA and houses 2,855 people. The Eviction Risk Score is 5/10, in the Moderate tier. Cost burden runs about half against 30.3% citywide, putting Parkchester 21.5% over its own city.
The main counterweight is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10. The poverty rate is 26%, which shows up in this model as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. CDC survey data puts housing insecurity at 26.1% of adults, against 14.2% nationally.
The severe-burden share is 17%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. Food insecurity affects 33.4% of adults, 15.6 points above the national rate.
Average gross rent is $895, 19% below the Columbus average of $1,106. Well under the midpoint is eviction-process difficulty, at 2.5/10.
On the softer side is tenant-organizing strength, at 2.5/10. That places it #1 of 48 neighborhoods in Columbus.
The closest comparables inside the same city are Benning Park and Rose Hill. Social vulnerability runs high at 9.1/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input.
Annual rent works out to 26% of average household income of $41,602. 57% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
One tract means one number: 5/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
