Judgments average 2.9% of renter households a year, the share of filings that actually convert to an order. The closest comparables inside the same city are Iris Park and Eastview. Social vulnerability runs high at 8.3/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input.
The area figure travels well to individual addresses here, though the per-tract table below still carries the detail. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
