Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Lakewood

The severe-burden share is 35%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment. Average gross rent is $2,544, 41% above the Lakewood average. The clearest offset is economic stress at 1.4/10.

On the high side, court filing pressure reads 7.5/10. The voucher gap is 18.9%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears. The filing record is not thin: 20 evictions over 1 years of observation.

Running hot, local political climate reads 7/10. Filings peaked in 2010 at 4.6% of renter households.

In a typical year about 4.6% of renter households face a filing. On the national scale it lands near the 65th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored.

At 13% renter-occupied this is predominantly owner territory, and comps have to be drawn from further out.

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