Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Prescott
36% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. The dominant input is economic stress at 10/10. SNAP participation runs 64.3% against 15.2% nationally.
Housing insecurity runs 43.2% against 14.2% nationally. The poverty rate is 50%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment.
On the high side, tenant-organizing strength reads 9.6/10. Annualized rent equals 44% of average household income of $20,273, past the 30% affordability line, which thins the margin any screening standard has to work with.
Sitting well above the midpoint, court filing pressure reads 9.5/10. At $737 a month, rents run 30% under what the rest of Valdosta commands. It sits 1.8 points above the Lowndes County average of 4.9.
That is riskier than roughly 83% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 9.2/10.
Statewide the GA average is 4.2, so this tract runs 2.5 points hotter.
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.
