Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Pendergrass
The score leans hardest on rent-control risk at 9.5/10. That part comes from the wider legal climate rather than the tract itself.

In CDC survey modeling, about 12.5% of adults here said they could not pay rent or mortgage at some point in the past year, and 7.0% faced a utility shutoff threat, a common early warning before a filing.
