Wynnton maps to a single census tract in Columbus, GA, population 2,593. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 4.7/10, Moderate tier. Pulling the other way is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10.
Average gross rent is $793, 28% below the Columbus average of $1,106. Running cool is supply constraint, at 2.2/10. CDC survey data puts housing insecurity at 23.5% of adults, against 14.2% nationally.
The poverty rate is 20%, which shows up in this model as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. Cost burden runs 25% against 30.3% citywide, putting Wynnton 4.9% under its own city. On the softer side is eviction-process difficulty, at 2.5/10.
15.4% 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. The severe-burden share is 10%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. That places it #19 of 48 neighborhoods in Columbus.
The closest comparables inside the same city are Forest Park and Wayne Terrace. Social vulnerability runs high at 9/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input. Annual rent works out to 32% of average household income of $29,831.
51% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
One tract means one number: 4.7/10 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.
