The filing record is not thin: 340 evictions logged in this tract. 9% are severely burdened, paying half their income or more in rent.

46% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 5.4/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
