Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Medulla

Pulling hardest the other way is economic stress at 1/10. Severe burden reaches 23%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. Running cool, eviction-process difficulty reads 1.3/10.

On the high side, rent-regulation exposure reads 8.6/10. Against the Polk County average of 3.9, this tract reads safer for landlords by 0.9 points. Court records carry 79 eviction filings across 17 observed years.

At $1,166 a month, rents run 9% under what the rest of Medulla commands. Filings peaked in 2002 at 6.5% of renter households.

In a typical year about 2.8% of renter households face a filing. Nationally it ranks #67,219 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. Only 25% 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 4.3/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.

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.
