Dalton Eviction Risk: Lower

On the high side, tenant-organizing strength reads 8.8/10. Adults with no health insurance runs 26.8% against 11.3% nationally. On the softer side, economic stress reads 1.5/10.

Cost burden runs 26% here against 35.7% across Whitfield County. On the national scale it lands near the 31st percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. At 16% renter-occupied this is predominantly owner territory, and comps have to be drawn from further out.

Social vulnerability reads 8.7/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks. Of its three components the household composition measure is the most pressured. Poverty sits at 6%, low enough that arrears here usually signal a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.

It tracks the Whitfield County average of 3.9 closely. Average gross rent is $1,026, close to the Dalton average. Annual rent works out to 24% of average household income of $52,038.
