Running cool, state political climate reads 1.8/10. Cost burden runs 39% here against 46.3% across Jefferson County. Against the Jefferson County average of 4.3, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.1 points.
The severe-burden share is 9%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment. The filing record is not thin: 185 evictions over 11 years of observation. The worst year on record was 2002, when 6.7% of renter households were served.
In a typical year about 3.7% of renter households face a filing. That is riskier than roughly 70% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.
