Inability to pay a utility bill runs 17.9% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two. Court records carry 126 eviction filings across 5 observed years.

Filings peaked in 2001 at 10.9% of renter households. In a typical year about 7.1% of renter households face a filing. That is riskier than roughly 61% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.

Tract-level figures come from the ACS 5-year release and are rebuilt whenever that, the court-record feed, or the statutory ledger behind the score changes.
