Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Auburn

Pulling hardest the other way is rent-regulation exposure at 1/10. Running cool, state political climate reads 1.8/10. roughly one in two of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, above the Lee County average of 46.8%.

Well under the midpoint, housing-court posture reads 2.5/10. That is riskier than roughly 35% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.

Only 21% 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 7.1/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Of its three components the socioeconomic standing measure is the most pressured.

It tracks the Lee County average of 3.9 closely. Average gross rent is $1,044, close to the Auburn average. Annual rent works out to 25% of average household income of $50,547.

These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
