Running cool, state political climate reads 1.8/10. At $1,109 a month, rents run 24% under what the rest of Homewood commands. The severe-burden share is 14%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment.

SNAP participation runs 7.9% against 15.2% nationally. Filings peaked in 2016 at 28.2% of renter households.
In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground B ("Still Desirable"). 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. In a typical year about 11.8% of renter households face a filing. That is riskier than roughly 40% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.
Social vulnerability reads 6.5/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks. Of its three components the household composition measure is the most pressured. about half of renter households spend at least 30% of income on rent.
These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
