Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Thomasville

Running hot, rent-regulation exposure reads 9.1/10. On the high side, local political climate reads 8.5/10. 19% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears.

The filing record is not thin: 1,369 evictions over 8 years of observation. At $1,330 a month, rents run 14% under what the rest of Gresham Park commands.

Food insecurity runs 25.0% against 17.8% nationally. Inability to pay a utility bill runs 14.4% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two.

Filings peaked in 2015 at 30.3% of renter households. In a typical year about 20.5% of renter households face a filing. That is riskier than roughly 42% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.

CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 8.5/10. Of its three components the housing type and transport measure is the most pressured. Rent takes 30% or more of income for 49% of renters.

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.
