Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Lamara Heights

The score leans hardest on supply constraint at $1/10. That part is specific to this tract, computed from its own rent, income, and poverty figures.

Set against its neighbors, this tract scores about the same as the Chatham County average of 5.6 and in line with the Georgia statewide average of 5.6. Within its own county it reads on the safer side for landlords.

In CDC survey modeling, about 12.7% of adults here said they could not pay rent or mortgage at some point in the past year, and 8.4% faced a utility shutoff threat, a common early warning before a filing.

Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 103 eviction filings here over 1 tracked years, with about 12.8% of renter households facing a filing in a typical year. Filings peaked at 12.8% of renter households in 2011.
