Village at Watervale Eviction Risk: Lower

2 census tracts · pop 10,194 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 3/10 · range 3–3

Village at Watervale spans 2 census tracts of Evans, GA and houses 10,194 people. The Eviction Risk Score is 3/10, in the Lower tier. The voucher gap is 50.9%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears.

The dominant input is supply constraint at 8.9/10. 20% are severely burdened, paying half their income or more in rent. That cohort has no absorption capacity for an unexpected bill, and it is where non-payment filings originate.

Well under the midpoint is economic stress, at 1.7/10. Rent consumes at least 30% of income for 30% of renter households.

On the softer side is eviction-process difficulty, at 2/10. CDC survey data puts housing insecurity at 6.3% of adults, against 14.2% nationally.

SNAP participation is 4.4% of households versus 15.2% nationally. Average gross rent is $1,773, 10% above the Evans average of $1,617.

Among the 5 mapped neighborhoods of Evans, it ranks #3 by risk, the middle third. Only 7% 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.

Rent takes 15% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market. Poverty sits at 6%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.

The area figure travels well to individual addresses here, though the per-tract table below still carries the detail. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
