DeSoto Homes Eviction Risk: Moderate

At $693 a month, rents sit 33% under what the rest of Rome commands. This is a renter market: 79% of occupied units are tenant-occupied.

On the softer side is supply constraint, at 1/10. The poverty rate is 27%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest.

Running cool is eviction-process difficulty, at 1.5/10. Severe burden reaches 14%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears.

The filing record is not thin: 631 evictions logged in this tract. Against a Rome baseline of 31.2%, 36% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.

The worst year on record was 2016, when filings touched 19.2% of renter households. 18.1% of adults carry no health insurance against 11.3% nationally, a common route into sudden unpayable debt.

Among the 9 mapped neighborhoods of Rome, it ranks #1 by risk, the upper third.

One tract means one number: 5.7/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
