Goodale Place Eviction Risk: Moderate

1 census tracts · pop 2,809 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 5.1/10 · range 5.1–5.1

Goodale Place is a one-tract neighborhood of Augusta, GA and houses 2,809 people. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 5.1/10, Moderate tier. 61% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, far above the Augusta rate of 32.9%.

Severe burden reaches 38%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. SNAP participation is 49.9% of households versus 15.2% nationally. 27.4% 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.

The main counterweight is rent-regulation exposure, at 1.2/10. The poverty rate is 35%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest.

On the high side is economic stress at 8.6/10. At $819 a month, rents sit 28% under what the rest of Augusta commands.

Well under the midpoint is supply constraint, at 2/10. That places it #1 of 30 neighborhoods in Augusta.

For a like-for-like read, Turrin Hill and Apple Valley score within a fraction of it. Social vulnerability runs high at 9/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input.

Because the boundary contains one tract, 5.1/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
