Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Orchard Hill
What moves this score most is tenant organizing strength at $1/10. That part comes from the wider legal climate rather than the tract itself. Statewide and court-level factors such as eviction-process speed and rent-control exposure are inherited from Orchard Hill, while the economic and supply signals are measured at the tract level.
Set against its neighbors, this tract scores above the Spalding County average of 6.0 and above the Georgia statewide average of 5.6. Within its own county it reads on the riskier side for landlords.
Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 451 eviction filings here over 6 tracked years, with about 24.7% of renter households facing a filing in a typical year. Filings peaked at 32.6% of renter households in 2004.
The tract is predominantly White and ranks around the 62nd percentile nationally on the CDC Social Vulnerability Index, a measure of how exposed residents are to housing and economic shocks. That is a middle-of-the-pack reading for social vulnerability.
For a landlord, this is a tract where process discipline pays off. Clean paperwork and steady screening keep the elevated risk manageable.
