Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Hattiesburg
The dominant input is economic stress at 10/10. The severe-burden share is 31%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment.
The poverty rate is 42%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. SNAP participation runs 36.8% against 15.2% nationally.
Running cool, rent-regulation exposure reads 1/10. This is renter territory: 76% of occupied units are tenant-occupied. Annualized rent equals 34% of average household income of $31,958, past the 30% affordability line, which thins the margin any screening standard has to work with.
Disability prevalence runs 47.7% against 31.5% nationally. Well under the midpoint, state political climate reads 1.8/10. Against the Forrest County average of 4.1, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.2 points.
Average gross rent is $895, 11% below the Hattiesburg average. That is riskier than roughly 67% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.
These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
