Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Rockbrook
The heaviest input here is supply constraint at 4.5/10. That part is specific to this tract, computed from its own rent, income, and poverty figures. Statewide and court-level factors such as eviction-process speed and rent-control exposure are inherited from Augusta eviction risk-Richmond County consolidated government (balance), while the economic and supply signals are measured at the tract level.
Set against its neighbors, this tract scores about the same as the Richmond County average of 5.8 and in line with the Georgia statewide average of 5.6. Within its own county it reads on the safer side for landlords.
The tract is predominantly White and ranks around the 33rd percentile nationally on the CDC Social Vulnerability Index, a measure of how exposed residents are to housing and economic shocks. That is a relatively low-vulnerability reading.
Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 641 eviction filings here over 9 tracked years, with about 5.5% of renter households facing a filing in a typical year. Filings peaked at 7.7% of renter households in 2007.
For a landlord, conditions here are middle-of-the-road. Standard screening and prompt, documented notices usually keep cases short.
