Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Thomasville
The score leans hardest on rent-control risk at 9.1/10. That part comes from the wider legal climate rather than the tract itself. Statewide and court-level factors such as eviction-process speed and rent-control exposure are inherited from Gresham Park, while the economic and supply signals are measured at the tract level.
Set against its neighbors, this tract scores about the same as the DeKalb County average of 6.4 and above the Georgia statewide average of 5.6. Within its own county it reads on the riskier side for landlords.
Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 1,369 eviction filings here over 8 tracked years, with about 20.5% of renter households facing a filing in a typical year. Filings peaked at 30.3% of renter households in 2015.
In CDC survey modeling, about 21.7% of adults here said they could not pay rent or mortgage at some point in the past year, and 14.4% faced a utility shutoff threat, a common early warning before a filing.
For a landlord, this is a tract where process discipline pays off. Clean paperwork and steady screening keep the elevated risk manageable.
