Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Cedar Park

On the high side, court filing pressure reads 8.2/10. Running hot, regional political climate reads 8.2/10.

In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground C ("Definitely Declining"). Redlining cut off mortgage credit to whole blocks for decades, and the areas graded D still carry measurably lower ownership and higher rent burden today.
In a typical year about 10.1% of renter households face a filing. On the national scale it lands near the 76th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored.
Social vulnerability reads 5.9/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks. Statewide the PA average is 4.6, so this tract runs 1.2 points hotter. Of its three components the household composition measure is the least pressured.
