Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Lake Hamilton

Pulling hardest the other way is eviction-process difficulty at 1.4/10. Well under the midpoint, state political climate reads 1.5/10. Disability prevalence runs 45.2% against 31.5% nationally.

Running cool, supply constraint reads 1.9/10. Average gross rent is $921, 22% below the Lake Hamilton average. The poverty rate is 23%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest.

14% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. Adults with no health insurance runs 20.4% against 11.3% nationally. Court records carry 78 eviction filings across 17 observed years.

Filings peaked in 2017 at 12.9% of renter households. In a typical year about 3.1% of renter households face a filing.

Nationally it ranks #42,813 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. Only 17% 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.
