Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Rolla
The score leans hardest on tenant organizing strength at 9.6/10. That part comes from the wider legal climate rather than the tract itself.

Set against its neighbors, this tract scores below the Phelps County average of 4.6 and below the Missouri statewide average of 4.8. Within its own county it reads on the safer side for landlords.
In CDC survey modeling, about 9.6% of adults here said they could not pay rent or mortgage at some point in the past year, and 7.0% faced a utility shutoff threat, a common early warning before a filing.
Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 55 eviction filings here over 11 tracked years, with about 1.9% of renter households facing a filing in a typical year. Filings peaked at 3.8% of renter households in 2011.
