Well under the midpoint is housing-court posture, at 1.6/10. The poverty rate is 24%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest.
Food insecurity affects 32.3% of adults, 14.5 points above the national rate. The severe-burden share is 14%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay.
Average gross rent is $943, 13% below the St. Andrews average of $1,088. Social vulnerability runs high at 9.6/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input.
Annual rent works out to 29% of average household income of $38,545.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 4.8/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
