The Waters Edge maps to a single census tract in Augusta, GA and houses 931 people. Scored across those inputs it reaches 4.7/10, placing it in the Moderate tier. This is a renter market: 89% of occupied units are tenant-occupied.
The clearest offset is rent-regulation exposure, at 1.2/10. 42% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, above the Augusta rate of 32.9%.
Average gross rent is $849, 26% below the Augusta average of $1,142. Severe burden reaches 19%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. The poverty rate is 26%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest.
Running cool is supply constraint, at 2.2/10. Disability prevalence reaches 47.8% against a 31.5% national average, which raises the odds a reasonable-accommodation request accompanies any dispute. 21.8% of adults carry no health insurance against 11.3% nationally, a common route into sudden unpayable debt.
Well under the midpoint is eviction-process difficulty, at 2.3/10. Court records for this tract carry 899 eviction filings. The worst year on record was 2006, when filings touched 47.5% of renter households.
One tract means one number: 4.7/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
