Spanish Trace maps to a single census tract in Augusta, GA, population 5,734. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 4.1/10, in the Moderate tier. Cost burden runs about half against 32.9% citywide, putting Spanish Trace 14.9% over its own city.
Severe burden reaches 28%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. The clearest offset is rent-regulation exposure, at 1.2/10. On the softer side is eviction-process difficulty, at 2.3/10.
The poverty rate is 22%, which shows up in this model as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. CDC survey data puts housing insecurity at 23.2% of adults, against 14.2% nationally.
15.7% 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. Court records for this tract carry 863 eviction filings.
The worst year on record was 2008, when filings touched 26.2% of renter households. The most recent observed rate, 14.8% in 2010, is well off that peak. Among the 30 mapped neighborhoods of Augusta, it ranks #17 by risk, the middle third.
Social vulnerability runs high at 7.6/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input. Average gross rent runs $1,186, close to the Augusta average.
One tract means one number: 4.1/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
