Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Vista Center
Pulling hardest the other way is economic stress at 1.1/10. It sits 2.0 points below the Ocean County average of 5.0.
Running hot, court filing pressure reads 8.7/10. The severe-burden share is 20%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment. On the softer side, tenant-organizing strength reads 1.9/10.
SNAP participation runs 6.0% against 15.2% nationally. The filing record is not thin: 323 evictions over 6 years of observation. The worst year on record was 2016, when 20.2% of renter households were served.
In a typical year about 18.6% of renter households face a filing. That is riskier than roughly 20% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. Only 13% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin; price a renewal off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices.
CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 2.9/10. Against average income of $139,841, annual rent is just 16%.
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.
