Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Metcalfe

Sitting well above the midpoint, housing-court posture reads 8.7/10. Severe burden reaches 22%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate.

On the high side, rent-regulation exposure reads 8.6/10. The poverty rate is 26%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. Food insecurity runs 29.7% against 17.8% nationally.

Cost burden runs 39% here against 44.2% across Washington County. Average gross rent is $455, 15% above the Metcalfe average. Inability to pay a utility bill runs 15.3% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two.

That is riskier than roughly 44% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 9.3/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.

Against average income of $43,472, annual rent is just 13%. Of its three components the household composition measure is the most pressured.

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