Emerson Eviction Risk: Lower , Evans

Cost burden runs 48% here against 36.6% across Columbia County. Severe burden reaches 21%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. On the softer side, eviction-process difficulty reads 1.7/10.

Running cool, economic stress reads 1.9/10. Average gross rent is $1,333, 18% below the Evans average. The voucher gap is 13.5%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears.

SNAP participation runs 8.1% against 15.2% nationally. It sits 0.7 points below the Columbia County average of 3.9. On the national scale it lands near the 25th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored.

Only 16% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin; price a renewal off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 3.8/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.

Rent consumes only 15% of average household income of $104,512, an unusually wide affordability cushion. Statewide the GA average is 4.2, so this tract runs 1.0 points cooler. Of its three components the housing type and transport measure is the least pressured.

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.
