Analysis

What drives eviction risk in North Hill

On the softer side, supply constraint reads 1.6/10. The poverty rate is 29%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest.

This is renter territory: 66% of occupied units are tenant-occupied. Running cool, eviction-process difficulty reads 1.9/10. Against the Clark County average of 4.2, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.4 points.

12% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. SNAP participation runs 25.3% against 15.2% nationally. Food insecurity runs 27.7% against 17.8% nationally.

Average gross rent is $704, 17% below the Springfield average. Court records carry 160 eviction filings across 6 observed years. Filings peaked in 2016 at 6.4% of renter households.

This ground was mapped B ("Still Desirable") on the 1930s HOLC security maps for Springfield. That grading determined who could get a mortgage, and its imprint on tenure and rent burden is still visible in the ACS data above. In a typical year about 4.9% of renter households face a filing.

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.
