Census ACS 2023 5-year estimates show median gross rent as a percentage of household income is 19.8% — a core driver of eviction filings, because households above 30% of income on rent are statistically more likely to miss a payment after any income shock. Median gross rent in Wilbur Park is $1,300/month. About 17.2% of occupied units here are renter-occupied.

Economic stress: poverty rate 10.2%, unemployment 1.6%. Higher values correlate with higher eviction filing rates and longer court timelines.
