Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Corlett

In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground C ("Definitely Declining").

In a typical year about 13.2% of renter households face a filing.

On the national scale it lands near the 72nd percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored.
