Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Augusta

The clearest offset is eviction-process difficulty at 1.4/10. Well under the midpoint, state political climate reads 2/10. Against the Butler County average of 3.7, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.5 points.

15% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. On the high side, rent-regulation exposure reads 7.6/10. That is riskier than roughly 65% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.

On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 6.4/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Statewide the KS average is 3.7, so this tract runs 1.5 points hotter. Of its three components the household composition measure is the most pressured.

Average gross rent is $817, close to the Augusta average. Annual rent works out to 21% of average household income of $47,196.

Tract-level figures come from the ACS 5-year release and are rebuilt whenever that, the court-record feed, or the statutory ledger behind the score changes.
