27% are severely burdened, paying half their income or more in rent. That cohort has no absorption capacity for an unexpected bill, and it is where non-payment filings originate. The strongest single driver of the headline number is tenant-organizing strength at 8.7/10. The poverty rate is 24%, which shows up in this model as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment.
SNAP participation is 25.5% of households versus 15.2% nationally. Average gross rent is $1,027, 12% above the Augusta average of $919. Annual rent works out to 29% of average household income of $43,161.
44% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 6/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
