What drives eviction risk in Simpson
The clearest offset is supply constraint at 2.6/10. Running hot, court filing pressure reads 7.3/10.
On the high side, housing-court posture reads 7.3/10. Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 55 filings here across 7 tracked years.
Average gross rent is $856, 15% below the Simpson average. Filings peaked in 2005 at 4.6% of renter households. In a typical year about 2.5% of renter households face a filing.
That is riskier than roughly 42% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. At 18% renter-occupied this is predominantly owner territory, and comps have to be drawn from further out. Social vulnerability reads 1.8/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.
Against average income of $65,648, annual rent is just 16%. Of its three components the housing type and transport measure is the least pressured.
42% of renter households spend at least 30% of income on rent.
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.
