Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Tract 34039033300
The score leans hardest on court filing pressure at 8.9/10. The severe-burden share is 25%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment.

In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground C ("Definitely Declining"). 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 3.4% of renter households face a filing. That is riskier than roughly 63% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.
At 10% renter-occupied this is predominantly owner territory, and comps have to be drawn from further out. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 3.5/10.
