Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Augusta
The dominant input is tenant-organizing strength at 8.7/10. It sits 1.7 points above the Kennebec County average of 4.3. On the softer side, supply constraint reads 2/10.
The poverty rate is 25%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. The severe-burden share is 10%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment.
On the high side, housing-court posture reads 6.9/10. At $816 a month, rents run 11% under what the rest of Augusta commands. That is riskier than roughly 78% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.
Social vulnerability reads 6.2/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks. Statewide the ME average is 4.5, so this tract runs 1.5 points hotter. Of its three components the housing type and transport measure is the most pressured.
Annual rent works out to 22% of average household income of $44,709. 37% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
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.
