Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Buena Park
The score leans hardest on local political climate at 8.5/10. 77% of occupied units are rented, so comparables are plentiful and vacancy risk is low, but a mispriced renewal loses the tenant to a building nearby. The severe-burden share is 21%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment.
Running hot, tenant-organizing strength reads 8/10. On the high side, regional political climate reads 7.5/10.
It sits 0.9 points above the Cook County average of 6.1. Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 362 filings here across 15 tracked years. Filings peaked in 2013 at 5.7% of renter households.
This ground was mapped C ("Definitely Declining") on the 1930s HOLC security maps for Chicago. That grading determined who could get a mortgage, and its imprint on tenure and rent burden is still visible in the ACS data above. In a typical year about 1.8% of renter households face a filing.
That is riskier than roughly 85% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. Social vulnerability reads 5.5/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.
