Avondale Eviction Risk: Lower

1 census tracts · pop 2,149 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 3.1/10 · range 3.1–3.1

Avondale maps to a single census tract in Augusta, GA and houses 2,149 people. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 3.1/10, Lower tier. Against a Augusta baseline of 32.9%, 45% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.

The main counterweight is rent-regulation exposure, at 1.2/10. 78% of occupied units are rented, so comparables are plentiful and vacancy risk is low, but a mispriced renewal loses the tenant to a building two streets over.

Well under the midpoint is eviction-process difficulty, at 2.3/10. The severe-burden share is 13%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. Court records for this tract carry 735 eviction filings.

On the softer side is economic stress, at 2.7/10. The worst year on record was 2010, when filings touched 16.0% of renter households. Among the 30 mapped neighborhoods of Augusta, it ranks #22 by risk, the lower third.

Judgments average 2.7% of renter households a year, the share of filings that actually convert to an order. For a like-for-like read, Crofton and Windsor Court score within a fraction of it.

Average gross rent runs $1,174, close to the Augusta average. Annual rent works out to 27% of average household income of $51,538.

One tract means one number: 3.1/10 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.
