Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Halifax
The score leans hardest on court filing pressure at 9.5/10. Well under the midpoint, supply constraint reads 1/10. Sitting well above the midpoint, tenant-organizing strength reads 8.8/10.
At $744 a month, rents run 18% under what the rest of Halifax commands. Severe burden reaches 11%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate.
On the national scale it lands near the 55th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. Only 22% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin; price a renewal off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices. Social vulnerability reads 5.3/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.
Rent consumes only 13% of average household income of $66,480, an unusually wide affordability cushion. It tracks the Dauphin County average of 4.6 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.
