Within Bowling Green. Closest by Eviction Risk Score.
Annualized rent equals 45% of average household income of $40,478, past the 30% affordability line, which thins the margin any screening standard has to work with. Pulling hardest the other way is rent-regulation exposure at 1/10.
88% of occupied units are rented, so comparables are plentiful and vacancy risk is low, but a mispriced renewal loses the tenant to a building nearby. The poverty rate is 33%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. On the softer side, state political climate reads 1.5/10.
Cost burden runs 61% here against 52.2% across Lee County. On the high side, economic stress reads 8.2/10.
Adults with no health insurance runs 22.3% against 11.3% nationally. It sits 1.1 points above the Lee County average of 3.7.
That is riskier than roughly 58% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 9.8/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.
Of its three components the household composition measure is the most pressured.
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.
