Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Gosnell

The clearest offset is state political climate at 1.5/10. Running hot, rent-regulation exposure reads 8.4/10.

The poverty rate is 29%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. 19% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. Sitting well above the midpoint, housing-court posture reads 8.4/10.

That is riskier than roughly 55% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 4.1/10. Statewide the AR average is 3.8, so this tract runs 0.9 points hotter.

Of its three components the housing type and transport measure is the least pressured. It tracks the Mississippi County average of 4.2 closely. Average gross rent is $827, close to the Gosnell average.

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