Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Griffin
The score leans hardest on court filing pressure at 9.7/10. SNAP participation runs 38.8% against 15.2% nationally.
Sitting well above the midpoint, tenant-organizing strength reads 9.6/10. This is renter territory: 86% of occupied units are tenant-occupied. Severe burden reaches 26%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate.
On the softer side, supply constraint reads 1/10. Set annual rent against average income of $34,031 and the ratio lands at 34%, above the conventional 30% ceiling.
The poverty rate is 31%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. Housing insecurity runs 30.3% against 14.2% nationally. It sits 1.4 points above the Spalding County average of 4.5.
Court records carry 3,505 eviction filings across 6 observed years. At $959 a month, rents run 14% under what the rest of Griffin commands.
These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
