Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Growstown

Pulling hardest the other way is economic stress at 1.1/10. On the softer side, supply constraint reads 1.5/10.

18% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. Running hot, rent-regulation exposure reads 8/10.

Food insecurity runs 6.4% against 17.8% nationally. Housing insecurity runs 6.5% against 14.2% nationally. Average gross rent is $1,297, 11% below the Brunswick average.

Nationally it ranks #42,813 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. At 16% renter-occupied this is predominantly owner territory, and comps have to be drawn from further out.

Social vulnerability reads 3.1/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks. Of its three components the household composition measure is the least pressured.

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.
