Tifton Eviction Risk: Moderate

Sitting well above the midpoint, court filing pressure reads 9/10. Housing insecurity runs 30.9% against 14.2% nationally.

Running cool, eviction-process difficulty reads 1.6/10. 14% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. Inability to pay a utility bill runs 21.2% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two.

Average gross rent is $630, 21% below the Tifton average. The poverty rate is 21%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. 29% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, lower than the Tift County average of 33.0%.

On the national scale it lands near the 49th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 8.6/10. Rent consumes only 16% of average household income of $48,646, an unusually wide affordability cushion.

Of its three components the socioeconomic standing measure is the most pressured. It tracks the Tift County average of 4.0 closely. 41% of occupied units are renter-occupied.

These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
