Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Gaither Park
The heaviest input here is housing court bias at $1/10. That part comes from the wider legal climate rather than the tract itself.

Set against its neighbors, this tract scores above the Floyd County average of 5.8 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 376 eviction filings here over 5 tracked years, with about 12.7% of renter households facing a filing in a typical year. Filings peaked at 13.0% of renter households in 2014.
The tract is predominantly White and ranks around the 65th percentile nationally on the CDC Social Vulnerability Index, a measure of how exposed residents are to housing and economic shocks. That is a middle-of-the-pack reading for social vulnerability.
