Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Candler-McAfee
What moves this score most is rent-control risk at 7.3/10. That part comes from the wider legal climate rather than the tract itself.

Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 584 eviction filings here over 8 tracked years, with about 27.7% of renter households facing a filing in a typical year. Filings peaked at 34.2% of renter households in 2015.
The tract is predominantly Black and ranks around the 69th 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, this is a tract where process discipline pays off. Clean paperwork and steady screening keep the elevated risk manageable.
