Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Midfield
Sitting well above the midpoint, housing-court posture reads 8.6/10. Severe burden reaches 20%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. Against Jefferson County at 46.3%, 37% of renters here are cost-burdened.
On the softer side, state political climate reads 1.8/10. Food insecurity runs 30.2% against 17.8% nationally. The poverty rate is 23%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment.
Against the Jefferson County average of 4.3, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.1 points. SNAP participation runs 24.5% against 15.2% nationally.
Court records carry 382 eviction filings across 11 observed years. Filings peaked in 2012 at 10.2% of renter households. In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground C ("Definitely Declining"). Redlining cut off mortgage credit to whole blocks for decades, and the areas graded D still carry measurably lower ownership and higher rent burden today.
At $1,144 a month, rents run 8% under what the rest of Midfield commands.
