Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Garretts Mill
The dominant input is court filing pressure at 9.9/10. On the high side, tenant-organizing strength reads 9.8/10. Average gross rent is $1,232, 31% below the Garretts Mill average.
On the softer side, rent-regulation exposure reads 1.3/10. Food insecurity runs 10.5% against 17.8% nationally. SNAP participation runs 8.1% against 15.2% nationally.
That is riskier than roughly 67% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. At 17% renter-occupied this is predominantly owner territory, and comps have to be drawn from further out. Social vulnerability reads 2.7/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.
Of its three components the housing type and transport measure is the least pressured. Poverty sits at 5%, low enough that arrears here usually signal a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. It tracks the Washington County average of 5.4 closely.
Annual rent works out to 21% of average household income of $69,444.
These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
