Athens Eviction Risk: Lower

The clearest offset is eviction-process difficulty at 1.3/10. Sitting well above the midpoint, tenant-organizing strength reads 8.6/10.

Running cool, state political climate reads 1.5/10. At $873 a month, rents run 21% under what the rest of Athens commands. Severe burden reaches 9%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate.

That is riskier than roughly 35% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. At 23% 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 4.4/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Against average income of $70,258, annual rent is just 15%.

Of its three components the housing type and transport measure is the least pressured. It tracks the Henderson County average of 3.7 closely.

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.
