Running cool is supply constraint, at 2.2/10. The filing record is not thin: 59 evictions logged in this tract. Filing activity peaked in 2012 at 2.7% of renter households.
Recent filings have not receded much: 2.0% in 2016 against a 2.7% peak. Only 26% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin here; price renewals off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices. For a like-for-like read, Nottingham and Hampton Place score within a fraction of it.
Rent takes 13% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market.
One tract means one number: 3.4/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
