Emerson is a one-tract neighborhood of Evans, GA, population 7,549. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 3.2/10, in the Lower tier. Against a Evans baseline of 28.7%, 48% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.
The main counterweight is eviction-process difficulty, at 1.7/10. Severe burden reaches 21%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears.
Running cool is economic stress, at 1.9/10. At $1,333 a month, rents sit 18% under what the rest of Evans commands. The voucher gap is 13.5%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears.
That places it #2 of 5 neighborhoods in Evans. Only 16% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin here; price renewals off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices. For a like-for-like read, Village at Watervale and Champion's Retreat score within a fraction of it.
Rent takes 15% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market.
One tract means one number: 3.2/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
