Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Fountain Plaza

What moves this score most is tenant organizing strength at 8.6/10. That part comes from the wider legal climate rather than the tract itself.

In CDC survey modeling, about 8.2% of adults here said they could not pay rent or mortgage at some point in the past year, and 4.2% faced a utility shutoff threat, a common early warning before a filing.
