Crofton is a 2-tract neighborhood of Augusta, GA, population 8,077. The Eviction Risk Score is 3/10, in the Lower tier. 46% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, clearly above the Augusta rate of 32.9%.
Severe burden reaches 28%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. The main counterweight is rent-regulation exposure, at 1.2/10.
Running cool is economic stress, at 1.8/10. Well under the midpoint is eviction-process difficulty, at 2.3/10. Average gross rent is $1,334, 17% above the Augusta average of $1,142.
Court records carry 2,017 eviction filings across its 2 observed tracts. The voucher gap is 13.5%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears. The worst year on record was 2008, when filings touched 70.2% of renter households.
The most recent observed rate, 25.1% in 2010, is well off that peak. Among the 30 mapped neighborhoods of Augusta, it ranks #24 by risk, the lower third. Only 25% 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.
Against average income of $81,557, annual rent is only 20%, a wide affordability cushion. 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. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
