Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Milford
The score leans hardest on court filing pressure at 9.4/10. On the high side, tenant-organizing strength reads 9.3/10.
On the softer side, supply constraint reads 1/10. The severe-burden share is 15%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment. The filing record is not thin: 787 evictions over 9 years of observation.
Filings peaked in 2014 at 22.7% of renter households. In a typical year about 16.4% of renter households face a filing.
That is riskier than roughly 40% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. Only 21% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin; price a renewal off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices. Social vulnerability reads 7.2/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.
Rent consumes only 11% of average household income of $78,750, an unusually wide affordability cushion.
These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
