Bellemead is a one-tract neighborhood of Augusta, GA and houses 3,796 people. The Eviction Risk Score is 5.1/10, in the Moderate tier. Against a Augusta baseline of 32.9%, roughly three in four of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.
Severe burden reaches 37%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. What pushes the score up most is economic stress at 9/10.
The poverty rate is 36%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest. Well under the midpoint is rent-regulation exposure, at 1.2/10. CDC survey data puts housing insecurity at 29.0% of adults, against 14.2% nationally.
20.8% of adults report being unable to pay a utility bill, against a 9.2% national figure. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two. Running cool is eviction-process difficulty, at 2.3/10.
Average gross rent is $999, 13% below the Augusta average of $1,142. Among the 30 mapped neighborhoods of Augusta, it ranks #1 by risk, the upper third.
Social vulnerability runs high at 8.4/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input. Annual rent works out to 32% of average household income of $38,000.
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.
