What pushes the score up most is tenant-organizing strength at 8.8/10. Sitting well above the midpoint is housing-court posture at 8.5/10. The poverty rate is 23%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest.
Running cool is supply constraint, at 2.3/10. 8% are severely burdened, paying half their income or more in rent. That cohort has no absorption capacity for an unexpected bill, and it is where non-payment filings originate.

33% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
