Mountain City Eviction Risk: Moderate

Pulling hardest the other way is rent-regulation exposure at 1/10. Running cool, housing-court posture reads 1.6/10. 17% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears.

On the softer side, tenant-organizing strength reads 1.9/10. At $865 a month, rents run 22% under what the rest of Mountain City commands. The poverty rate is 22%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest.

On the national scale it lands near the 46th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. At 22% renter-occupied this is predominantly owner territory, and comps have to be drawn from further out. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 7.9/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.

Of its three components the household composition measure is the most pressured. It tracks the Rabun County average of 3.8 closely.

Annual rent works out to 18% of average household income of $57,214.

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.
