Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Tract 25017314102
The clearest offset is economic stress at 1/10. Running cool, supply constraint reads 1.8/10. 16% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears.
Well under the midpoint, court filing pressure reads 2.5/10. The filing record is not thin: 124 evictions over 5 years of observation. Food insecurity runs 10.7% against 17.8% nationally.
Filings peaked in 2013 at 6.0% of renter households. In a typical year about 4.4% of renter households face a filing. That is riskier than roughly 79% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.
At 23% renter-occupied this is predominantly owner territory, and comps have to be drawn from further out. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 4.1/10.
Of its three components the socioeconomic standing measure is the least pressured. Poverty sits at 3%, low enough that arrears here usually signal a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.
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.
