Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Norton
The score leans hardest on supply constraint at 4.3/10. That part is specific to this tract, computed from its own rent, income, and poverty figures.

Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 201 eviction filings here over 17 tracked years, with about 7.0% of renter households facing a filing in a typical year. Filings peaked at 14.2% of renter households in 2011.
