Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Highland
Severe burden reaches 22%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. Pulling hardest the other way is economic stress at 1.9/10. It sits 1.4 points below the Madison County average of 4.8.
Well under the midpoint, supply constraint reads 2.5/10. Food insecurity runs 9.2% against 17.8% nationally.
Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 12 filings here across 8 tracked years. SNAP participation runs 7.9% against 15.2% nationally.
The worst year on record was 2009, when 2.2% of renter households were served. In a typical year about 1.2% of renter households face a filing. That is riskier than roughly 29% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.
At 18% renter-occupied this is predominantly owner territory, and comps have to be drawn from further out. Social vulnerability reads 1.8/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.
Rent consumes only 12% of average household income of $89,844, an unusually wide affordability cushion.
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.
