Broad Street Historic District Eviction Risk: Moderate , Augusta

The score leans hardest on court filing pressure at 9.6/10. Severe burden reaches 29%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. 88% of occupied units are rented, so comparables are plentiful and vacancy risk is low, but a mispriced renewal loses the tenant to a building nearby.

Against Richmond County at 51.1%, 64% of renters here are cost-burdened. On the softer side, supply constraint reads 1/10. Running cool, rent-regulation exposure reads 1.2/10.

The poverty rate is 27%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. Food insecurity runs 28.7% against 17.8% nationally. It sits 1.1 points above the Richmond County average of 4.0.

The filing record is not thin: 927 evictions over 9 years of observation. Inability to pay a utility bill runs 14.9% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two. Filings peaked in 2007 at 15.1% of renter households.

In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground D ("Hazardous"). Redlining cut off mortgage credit to whole blocks for decades, and the areas graded D still carry measurably lower ownership and higher rent burden today. In a typical year about 10.4% of renter households face a filing.

These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
