At $1,026 a month, rents sit 20% under what the rest of Fountain Hill commands. 12% are severely burdened, paying half their income or more in rent.

The poverty rate is 16%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest. Running cool is eviction-process difficulty, at 2.9/10. Filing activity peaked in 2005 at 4.7% of renter households.
Recent filings have not receded much: 4.3% in 2006 against a 4.7% peak. Social vulnerability runs high at 8.5/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input. Annual rent works out to 23% of average household income of $54,615.
40% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
One tract means one number: 5.9/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
