Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Thornberry

The clearest offset is tenant-organizing strength at 1.8/10. On the high side, court filing pressure reads 7.8/10. The voucher gap is 20.2%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears.

Filings peaked in 2006 at 3.6% of renter households. In a typical year about 1.9% of renter households face a filing. That is riskier than roughly 38% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.
