The Vinings spans 2 census tracts of Columbus, GA, population 8,454. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 3.3/10, Lower tier. 45% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, clearly above the Columbus rate of 30.3%.
Pulling the other way is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10. 69% of occupied units are rented, so comparables are plentiful and vacancy risk is low, but a mispriced renewal loses the tenant to a building two streets over. 18% 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.
Well under the midpoint is eviction-process difficulty, at 2.5/10. On the softer side is tenant-organizing strength, at 2.5/10.
The poverty rate is 16%, which shows up in this model as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. That places it #34 of 48 neighborhoods in Columbus. For a like-for-like read, Innsbrook and Kingston score within a fraction of it.
Its 2 tracts score within 0.7 points of one another, so the area figure travels well to individual addresses. Average gross rent runs $1,166, close to the Columbus average.
Annual rent works out to 21% of average household income of $66,620.
The area figure travels well to individual addresses here, though the per-tract table below still carries the detail. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
