Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Augusta

The dominant input is supply constraint at 10/10. At $2,068 a month, rents run 139% over what the rest of Augusta commands. The voucher gap is 107.8%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears.

Running cool, eviction-process difficulty reads 1.4/10. Well under the midpoint, state political climate reads 2/10.

SNAP participation runs 5.3% against 15.2% nationally. Food insecurity runs 9.9% against 17.8% nationally. Nationally it ranks #57,812 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty.

At 10% renter-occupied this is predominantly owner territory, and comps have to be drawn from further out. Social vulnerability reads 1.7/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks. Of its three components the socioeconomic standing measure is the least pressured.

It tracks the Butler County average of 3.7 closely. Annual rent works out to 26% of average household income of $97,250.

These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
