Five Points Eviction Risk: Elevated , Athens

What pushes it up most is economic stress at 10/10. The poverty rate is 47%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. On the high side, tenant-organizing strength reads 9.6/10.

68% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, well above the Clarke County average of 54.5%. Annualized rent equals 39% of average household income of $35,521, past the 30% affordability line, which thins the margin any screening standard has to work with.

75% of occupied units are rented, so comparables are plentiful and vacancy risk is low, but a mispriced renewal loses the tenant to a building nearby. Sitting well above the midpoint, court filing pressure reads 8.9/10. It sits 1.4 points above the Clarke County average of 5.9.

Nationally it ranks #11,153 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 3.9/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Statewide the GA average is 4.2, so this tract runs 3.1 points hotter.

Of its three components the household composition measure is the least pressured. Average gross rent is $1,159, close to the Athens average.
