Analysis
What drives eviction risk in South Ree Springs
The poverty rate is 48%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. Sitting well above the midpoint, tenant-organizing strength reads 9.6/10. SNAP participation runs 35.8% against 15.2% nationally.
On the high side, court filing pressure reads 9.5/10. 81% 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.
23% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. Set annual rent against average income of $35,955 and the ratio lands at 36%, above the conventional 30% ceiling. It sits 1.8 points above the Lowndes County average of 4.9.
Against Lowndes County at 42.1%, 51% of renters here are cost-burdened. Housing insecurity runs 27.0% against 14.2% nationally. On the national scale it lands near the 83rd percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored.
All figures here are ACS 5-year estimates for this tract, refreshed as the underlying releases land.
