Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Springfield

The dominant input is tenant-organizing strength at 8.7/10. The severe-burden share is 22%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment. Sitting well above the midpoint, state political climate reads 7.2/10.

The poverty rate is 19%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. Court records carry 1,604 eviction filings across 16 observed years.

The worst year on record was 2008, when 11.2% of renter households were served. In a typical year about 8.8% of renter households face a filing. That is riskier than roughly 83% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.

On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 8.6/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Of its three components the household composition measure is the most pressured. It tracks the Lane County average of 6.2 closely.

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.
