Against the Hall County average of 4.3, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.7 points. Well under the midpoint, eviction-process difficulty reads 1.5/10.

The poverty rate is 27%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. At $1,029 a month, rents run 21% under what the rest of Gainesville commands.

Inability to pay a utility bill runs 19.2% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two. Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 53 filings here across 1 tracked years. Filings peaked in 2003 at 7.8% of renter households.

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.
