Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Baker
Sitting well above the midpoint, eviction-process difficulty reads 8.5/10. Severe burden reaches 19%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. Disability prevalence runs 17.9% against 31.5% nationally.
Well under the midpoint, economic stress reads 1.8/10. Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 159 filings here across 8 tracked years.
Filings peaked in 2014 at 4.7% of renter households. In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground C ("Definitely Declining"). Redlining cut off mortgage credit to whole blocks for decades, and the areas graded D still carry measurably lower ownership and higher rent burden today.
In a typical year about 2.7% of renter households face a filing. On the national scale it lands near the 81st percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 1.9/10.
