· range 4.3–4.3
Smith Residential Historic District is a one-tract neighborhood of Columbus, GA, population 1,775. Scored across those inputs it reaches 4.3/10, placing it in the Moderate tier. The severe-burden share is 29%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay.
The clearest offset is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10. This is a renter market: 80% of occupied units are tenant-occupied.
The poverty rate is 24%, which shows up in this model as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. Running cool is eviction-process difficulty, at 2.5/10. Against a Columbus baseline of 30.3%, roughly one in three of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.
Well under the midpoint is tenant-organizing strength, at 2.5/10. SNAP participation is 23.6% of households versus 15.2% nationally.
Food insecurity affects 26.2% of adults, 8.4 points above the national rate. At $988 a month, rents sit 11% under what the rest of Columbus commands.
That places it #24 of 48 neighborhoods in Columbus. For a like-for-like read, Clubview Heights and Forest Hills score within a fraction of it. Social vulnerability runs high at 8.1/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 4.3/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
