At $1,274 a month, rents run 29% under what the rest of Lakewood commands. Running hot, court filing pressure reads 7.5/10.

In a typical year about 2.4% of renter households face a filing. That is riskier than roughly 46% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. At 9% renter-occupied this is predominantly owner territory, and comps have to be drawn from further out.

Social vulnerability reads 1.1/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks. Against average income of $154,261, annual rent is just 10%. Of its three components the housing type and transport measure is the least pressured.

Poverty sits at 4%, low enough that arrears here usually signal a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.

Tract-level figures come from the ACS 5-year release and are rebuilt whenever that, the court-record feed, or the statutory ledger behind the score changes.
