Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Pine Hill

Pulling hardest the other way is rent-regulation exposure at 1.6/10. Severe burden reaches 22%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. Running cool, economic stress reads 1.8/10.

On the softer side, eviction-process difficulty reads 2.2/10. Court records carry 327 eviction filings across 10 observed years.

The worst year on record was 2013, when 4.2% of renter households were served. In a typical year about 2.9% of renter households face a filing. That is riskier than roughly 33% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.

Social vulnerability reads 5.9/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks. Of its three components the housing type and transport measure is the most pressured.

It tracks the Cerro Gordo County average of 3.5 closely. Average gross rent is $936, close to the Mason City average.

Annual rent works out to 21% of average household income of $52,326. 40% of occupied units are renter-occupied.

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.
