The severe-burden share is 9%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment. Food insecurity runs 10.0% against 17.8% nationally. Average gross rent is $1,329, 10% below the Westminster average.

Nationally it ranks #21,564 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. At 9% 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 13% of average household income of $125,000, an unusually wide affordability cushion.
