Court records for this tract carry 12 eviction filings. Filing activity peaked in 2012 at 2.1% of renter households. Recent filings have not receded much: 1.8% in 2014 against a 2.1% peak.
Only 13% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin here; price renewals off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices. Against average income of $174,167, annual rent is only 3%, a wide affordability cushion. Poverty sits at 4%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 3.2/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
