The poverty rate is 48%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. Food insecurity runs 40.9% against 17.8% nationally. This is renter territory: 93% of occupied units are tenant-occupied.

Running hot, tenant-organizing strength reads 9.1/10. Set annual rent against average income of $27,055 and the ratio lands at 34%, above the conventional 30% ceiling. On the softer side, eviction-process difficulty reads 1.4/10.

The severe-burden share is 18%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment. Against the Calhoun County average of 4.0, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.6 points.

47% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, higher than the Calhoun County average of 38.6%. Inability to pay a utility bill runs 18.7% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two. Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 517 filings here across 14 tracked years.

The worst year on record was 2012, when 9.4% of renter households were served.
