Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Highland Park
Against Richmond County at 51.1%, 76% of renters here are cost-burdened. What pushes it up most is economic stress at 10/10. The poverty rate is 43%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest.
Annualized rent equals 46% of average household income of $24,266, past the 30% affordability line, which thins the margin any screening standard has to work with. On the high side, court filing pressure reads 9.6/10.
Inability to pay a utility bill runs 27.8% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two. Well under the midpoint, rent-regulation exposure reads 1.2/10.
70% of occupied units are rented, so comparables are plentiful and vacancy risk is low, but a mispriced renewal loses the tenant to a building nearby. At $922 a month, rents run 19% under what the rest of Augusta commands. It sits 1.1 points above the Richmond County average of 4.0.
Adults with no health insurance runs 21.1% against 11.3% nationally.
