Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Piedmont
The clearest offset is eviction-process difficulty at 1.7/10. Well under the midpoint, state political climate reads 1.8/10. The severe-burden share is 16%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment.
Running cool, local political climate reads 2.2/10. The filing record is not thin: 205 evictions over 14 years of observation.
Filings peaked in 2003 at 6.5% of renter households. In a typical year about 3.1% of renter households face a filing. That is riskier than roughly 33% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.
Social vulnerability reads 5.6/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks. Rent consumes only 17% of average household income of $55,375, an unusually wide affordability cushion.
It tracks the Calhoun County average of 4.0 closely. Average gross rent is $775, close to the Piedmont average.
These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
