Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Semmes

Filings peaked in 2002 at 7.6% of renter households. In a typical year about 4.4% of renter households face a filing. That is riskier than roughly 20% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.
At 13% renter-occupied this is predominantly owner territory, and comps have to be drawn from further out. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 5.6/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.
These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
