Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Milford

Pulling hardest the other way is economic stress at 1.4/10. The severe-burden share is 16%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment. Running hot, tenant-organizing strength reads 7.3/10.

Food insecurity runs 9.0% against 17.8% nationally. On the high side, local political climate reads 7.1/10.

Adults with no health insurance runs 3.6% against 11.3% nationally. Average gross rent is $1,701, 10% below the Milford average.

Nationally it ranks #22,681 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. At 10% renter-occupied this is predominantly owner territory, and comps have to be drawn from further out. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 3.5/10.

Of its three components the household composition measure is the least pressured. Poverty sits at 5%, low enough that arrears here usually signal a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.

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