Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Sheldon
What moves this score most is tenant organizing strength at 7.2/10. That part comes from the wider legal climate rather than the tract itself.

Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 148 eviction filings here over 5 tracked years, with about 9.5% of renter households facing a filing in a typical year. Filings peaked at 12.7% of renter households in 2010.
The tract is predominantly Black and ranks around the 53rd percentile nationally on the CDC Social Vulnerability Index, a measure of how exposed residents are to housing and economic shocks. That is a middle-of-the-pack reading for social vulnerability.
