Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Bogota

Pulling hardest the other way is economic stress at 1.2/10. Severe burden reaches 26%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. Running hot, rent-regulation exposure reads 8/10.

On the high side, court filing pressure reads 7.9/10. Princeton eviction risk's Eviction Lab logged 425 filings here across 5 tracked years. SNAP participation runs 7.2% against 15.2% nationally.

At $1,710 a month, rents run 12% under what the rest of Bogota commands. Filings peaked in 2013 at 17.7% of renter households. In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground B ("Still Desirable"). Redlining cut off mortgage credit to whole blocks for decades, and the areas graded D still carry measurably lower ownership and higher rent burden today.

In a typical year about 15.1% of renter households face a filing. On the national scale it lands near the 80th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored.

On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 6.8/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Of its three components the housing type and transport measure is the most pressured.

Tract-level figures come from the ACS 5-year release and are rebuilt whenever that, the court-record feed, or the statutory ledger behind the score changes.
