Sunnyside Eviction Risk: Elevated , Athens

The score leans hardest on economic stress at 10/10. 63% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, markedly above the Athens County average of 47.1%.

The poverty rate is 67%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. Annualized rent equals 48% of average household income of $21,541, past the 30% affordability line, which thins the margin any screening standard has to work with.

Sitting well above the midpoint, tenant-organizing strength reads 9.7/10. Against the Athens County average of 5.3, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 2.4 points.

On the high side, housing-court posture reads 9.6/10. This is renter territory: 86% of occupied units are tenant-occupied.

Food insecurity runs 32.8% against 17.8% nationally. Court records carry 54 eviction filings across 14 observed years. Average gross rent is $865, 14% below the Athens average.

Inability to pay a utility bill runs 17.2% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two. Filings peaked in 2011 at 0.9% of renter households.

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