Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Terrell Heights

The score leans hardest on court filing pressure at 9.2/10. On the softer side, supply constraint reads 1/10. roughly one in two of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, higher than the Bartow County average of 41.0%.

Running cool, eviction-process difficulty reads 1.9/10. Against the Bartow County average of 3.8, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 0.8 points. At $1,063 a month, rents run 14% under what the rest of Cartersville commands.

That is riskier than roughly 53% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. Only 23% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin; price a renewal off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices. Social vulnerability reads 5.4/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.

Rent consumes only 16% of average household income of $82,009, an unusually wide affordability cushion.

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