· range 5.1–5.1
Edenwood takes in 2 census tracts of Augusta, GA and houses 8,908 people. The Eviction Risk Score is 5.1/10, in the Moderate tier. Severe burden reaches 39%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears.
68% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, dramatically above the Augusta rate of 32.9%. Set annual rent against average household income of $36,021 and the ratio lands at 39%, above the conventional 30% ceiling. The clearest offset is rent-regulation exposure, at 1.2/10.
The poverty rate is 30%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest. CDC survey data puts housing insecurity at 27.4% of adults, against 14.2% nationally. Well under the midpoint is eviction-process difficulty, at 2.3/10.
Court records carry 2,327 eviction filings across its 2 observed tracts. Running hot is economic stress at 7.4/10. Filing activity peaked in 2008 at 35.9% of renter households.
17.5% of adults carry no health insurance against 11.3% nationally, a common route into sudden unpayable debt. The most recent observed rate, 17.0% 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 8.6/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input.
With little internal variation, 5.1/10 is a fair proxy for any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
