What drives eviction risk in Pacific Junction
Food insecurity runs 33.4% against 17.8% nationally. Adults with no health insurance runs 26.1% against 11.3% nationally. Severe burden reaches 18%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate.

Running hot, regional political climate reads 7.5/10. The poverty rate is 18%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest.
Court records carry 88 eviction filings across 15 observed years. The worst year on record was 2012, when 7.6% of renter households were served. In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground D ("Hazardous"). 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.
