Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Parkside

The dominant input is court filing pressure at 9.2/10. On the softer side, rent-regulation exposure reads 1/10. Well under the midpoint, eviction-process difficulty reads 1.8/10.

Severe burden reaches 14%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. Against the Jefferson County average of 4.0, this tract reads safer for landlords by 1.0 points.

Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 631 filings here across 14 tracked years. The worst year on record was 2007, when 18.1% of renter households were served.

In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground A ("Best"). Redlining cut off mortgage credit to whole blocks for decades, and the areas graded D still carry measurably lower ownership and higher rent burden today. In a typical year about 8.9% of renter households face a filing.

Nationally it ranks #67,219 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 4.1/10.

These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
