Analysis
What drives eviction risk in New Madrid
The score leans hardest on tenant organizing strength at 8.3/10. That part comes from the wider legal climate rather than the tract itself. Statewide and court-level factors such as eviction-process speed and rent-control exposure are inherited from New Madrid, while the economic and supply signals are measured at the tract level.
Set against its neighbors, this tract scores below the New Madrid County average of 4.2 and below the Missouri statewide average of 4.8. Within its own county it reads on the safer side for landlords.
Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 115 eviction filings here over 18 tracked years, with about 1.0% of renter households facing a filing in a typical year. Filings peaked at 2.2% of renter households in 2011.
The tract is predominantly White and ranks around the 81st percentile nationally on the CDC Social Vulnerability Index, a measure of how exposed residents are to housing and economic shocks. High vulnerability tends to track with higher eviction-filing rates when rents climb.
For a landlord, this is among the easier places to operate: faster process, lighter tenant-protection overhead, and shorter typical cases.
