Parkwood maps to a single census tract in Columbus, GA, population 6,643. Scored across those inputs it reaches 4.1/10, placing it in the Moderate tier. 55% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, dramatically above the Columbus rate of 30.3%.
35% 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.
On the softer side is eviction-process difficulty, at 2.5/10. The poverty rate is 19%, which shows up in this model as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. Running cool is tenant-organizing strength, at 2.5/10.
14.7% 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. That places it #26 of 48 neighborhoods in Columbus. Average gross rent runs $1,121, close to the Columbus average.
Annual rent works out to 26% of average household income of $51,000. 30% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 4.1/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
