Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Briarwood

On the high side, tenant-organizing strength reads 9.7/10. 27% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears.

The poverty rate is 23%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. The filing record is not thin: 601 evictions over 5 years of observation.

At $1,413 a month, rents run 13% over what the rest of Dentsville commands. Filings peaked in 2014 at 19.1% of renter households.

In a typical year about 17.6% of renter households face a filing. That is riskier than roughly 73% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.

Social vulnerability reads 8.3/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.
