Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Tallulah Falls

What pushes it up most is tenant-organizing strength at 9.4/10. Well under the midpoint, rent-regulation exposure reads 1/10.

On the softer side, housing-court posture reads 1.5/10. 27% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, lower than the Rabun County average of 36.4%.

The voucher gap is 19.1%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears. The filing record is not thin: 11 evictions over 3 years of observation. The worst year on record was 2003, when 26.2% of renter households were served.

In a typical year about 16.5% of renter households face a filing. That is riskier than roughly 27% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. At 16% renter-occupied this is predominantly owner territory, and comps have to be drawn from further out.

On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 4.4/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Statewide the GA average is 4.2, so this tract runs 0.9 points cooler. Of its three components the household composition measure is the least pressured.

It tracks the Rabun County average of 3.8 closely. Annual rent works out to 25% of average household income of $56,563.

These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
