Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Livingston
The score leans hardest on tenant organizing strength at 8.3/10. That part comes from the wider legal climate rather than the tract itself.

In CDC survey modeling, about 19.9% of adults here said they could not pay rent or mortgage at some point in the past year, and 9.6% faced a utility shutoff threat, a common early warning before a filing.
The tract is Hispanic or Latino and White and ranks around the 63rd percentile nationally on the CDC Social Vulnerability Index, a measure of how exposed residents are to housing and economic shocks. That is a middle-of-the-pack reading for social vulnerability.
For a landlord, conditions here are middle-of-the-road. Standard screening and prompt, documented notices usually keep cases short.
