Ringgold Eviction Risk: Lower

What pushes it up most is court filing pressure at 9.1/10. On the high side, tenant-organizing strength reads 8.9/10.

On the softer side, economic stress reads 1.3/10. Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 153 filings here across 11 tracked years. It sits 0.7 points below the Catoosa County average of 4.0.

At $1,053 a month, rents run 10% over what the rest of Ringgold commands. The worst year on record was 2013, when 19.3% of renter households were served. In a typical year about 7.8% of renter households face a filing.

That is riskier than roughly 27% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. At 10% renter-occupied this is predominantly owner territory, and comps have to be drawn from further out.

Social vulnerability reads 3.4/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks. Against average income of $84,764, annual rent is just 15%. Statewide the GA average is 4.2, so this tract runs 0.9 points cooler.

Of its three components the housing type and transport measure is the least pressured.

Tract-level figures come from the ACS 5-year release and are rebuilt whenever that, the court-record feed, or the statutory ledger behind the score changes.
