Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Sherwood Park Neighborhood

The main counterweight is economic stress at 1.1/10. The severe-burden share is 26%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment. Running hot, local political climate reads 7.5/10.

Well under the midpoint, supply constraint reads 2.5/10. Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 136 filings here across 7 tracked years. SNAP participation runs 7.5% against 15.2% nationally.

Average gross rent is $1,267, 10% below the Maplewood average. The worst year on record was 2009, when 8.0% of renter households were served.

In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground B ("Still Desirable"). Redlining cut off mortgage credit to whole blocks for decades, and the areas graded D still carry measurably lower ownership and higher rent burden today. In a typical year about 4.3% of renter households face a filing. Nationally it ranks #63,308 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty.

CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 7.3/10. Rent consumes only 16% of average household income of $95,813, an unusually wide affordability cushion.

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.
