The dominant input is tenant-organizing strength at 8.3/10. Running cool is economic stress, at 1.7/10.

The severe-burden share is 17%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. Internally this is not one market.

The worst year on record was 2015, when filings touched 4.4% of renter households. On the softer side is supply constraint, at 3/10.

For a specific building, read the per-tract breakdown below rather than the 6.3 headline, because the internal range is too wide to average safely. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
