Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Ohatchee

The main counterweight is rent-regulation exposure at 1.1/10. Running cool, state political climate reads 1.8/10. On the softer side, eviction-process difficulty reads 1.9/10.

14% 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 18%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. Against the Calhoun County average of 4.0, this tract reads safer for landlords by 0.9 points.

Court records carry 70 eviction filings across 14 observed years. Filings peaked in 2015 at 4.8% of renter households. In a typical year about 2.5% of renter households face a filing.

On the national scale it lands near the 22nd percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. Only 8% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin; price a renewal off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices.

On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 6.7/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Rent consumes only 15% of average household income of $66,050, an unusually wide affordability cushion. Of its three components the household composition measure is the most pressured.

All figures here are ACS 5-year estimates for this tract, refreshed as the underlying releases land.
