Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Cartersville
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.

Set against its neighbors, this tract scores about the same as the Bartow County average of 5.1 and below the Georgia statewide average of 5.6. Within its own county it reads on the safer side for landlords.
Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 674 eviction filings here over 14 tracked years, with about 21.5% of renter households facing a filing in a typical year. Filings peaked at 35.1% of renter households in 2007.
In CDC survey modeling, about 13.3% of adults here said they could not pay rent or mortgage at some point in the past year, and 8.6% faced a utility shutoff threat, a common early warning before a filing.
