Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Gonzales
30% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. Pulling hardest the other way is supply constraint at 1/10.

Well under the midpoint, court filing pressure reads 1.7/10. SNAP participation runs 26.9% against 15.2% nationally.
That is riskier than roughly 85% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 8.5/10.
