Apple Valley Eviction Risk: Moderate

Food insecurity affects 48.3% of adults, 30.5 points above the national rate. The clearest offset is rent-regulation exposure, at 1.2/10. Severe burden reaches 25%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears.

Annualized rent equals 33% of average household income here, past the 30% affordability line, which compresses the margin any screening standard has to work with. The poverty rate is 31%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest.

25.0% of adults carry no health insurance against 11.3% nationally, a common route into sudden unpayable debt. Running cool is eviction-process difficulty, at 2.3/10.

At $918 a month, rents sit 20% under what the rest of Augusta commands. Sitting well above the midpoint is economic stress at 7.6/10. Court records for this tract carry 621 eviction filings.

The worst year on record was 2003, when filings touched 28.8% of renter households. The most recent observed rate, 11.5% in 2010, is well off that peak. Among the 30 mapped neighborhoods of Augusta, it ranks #1 by risk, the upper third.

Social vulnerability runs high at 9.3/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input. 51% of occupied units are renter-occupied.

One tract means one number: 5.1/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
