Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Tract 45015020301
26% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. On the softer side, economic stress reads 1/10. Well under the midpoint, supply constraint reads 1.1/10.
The filing record is not thin: 104 evictions over 5 years of observation. Filings peaked in 2014 at 21.9% of renter households.
In a typical year about 12.2% of renter households face a filing. That is riskier than roughly 25% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.
