Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Auburn

Cost burden runs 81% here against 46.8% across Lee County. Set annual rent against average income of $15,785 and the ratio lands at 81%, above the conventional 30% ceiling.

The dominant input is economic stress at 10/10. The poverty rate is 78%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. 97% 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.

Well under the midpoint, rent-regulation exposure reads 1/10. Disability prevalence runs 45.5% against 31.5% nationally.

Running cool, state political climate reads 1.8/10. Against the Lee County average of 3.9, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 0.9 points.

Inability to pay a utility bill runs 16.9% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two. On the national scale it lands near the 58th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored.

These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
