Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Hallmark Heights
What pushes it up most is tenant-organizing strength at 9.6/10. Running hot, court filing pressure reads 9.5/10.
The poverty rate is 35%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. Set annual rent against average income of $26,129 and the ratio lands at 36%, above the conventional 30% ceiling. Sitting well above the midpoint, economic stress reads 8.8/10.
Against the Lowndes County average of 4.9, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.8 points. Severe burden reaches 20%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate.
66% 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. Housing insecurity runs 29.3% against 14.2% nationally.
Average gross rent is $791, 25% below the Valdosta average. Inability to pay a utility bill runs 23.0% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two.
These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
