Food insecurity affects 44.3% of adults, 26.5 points above the national rate. The severe-burden share is 30%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay.
CDC survey data puts housing insecurity at 31.7% of adults, against 14.2% nationally. The poverty rate is 34%, which shows up in this model as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. The strongest single driver of the headline number is economic stress at 8.4/10.
On the softer side is rent-regulation exposure, at 1.9/10. Scores across the 8 constituent tracts range from 4.4 to 5.4. A 1-point internal spread means block-level underwriting beats area-level here.

The closest comparables inside the same city are Carriage Town and East Village Neighborhood. Social vulnerability runs high at 7.9/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input. Annual rent works out to 29% of average household income of $34,414.
Underwrite the address, not the area: with 1 points between its best and worst tract, the per-tract table below is the operative number. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
