Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Liberty Hills

The clearest offset is rent-regulation exposure at 1/10. The voucher gap is 33.0%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears. Running cool, economic stress reads 1/10.

On the high side, court filing pressure reads 8.9/10. 46% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, above the Allen County average of 38.5%.

SNAP participation runs 3.6% against 15.2% nationally. Food insecurity runs 7.3% against 17.8% nationally.

Court records carry 17 eviction filings across 2 observed years. It sits 0.7 points below the Allen County average of 3.7. The worst year on record was 2017, when 4.6% of renter households were served.

In a typical year about 4.3% of renter households face a filing. On the national scale it lands near the 20th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. At 8% renter-occupied this is predominantly owner territory, and comps have to be drawn from further out.

Social vulnerability reads 1.3/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.

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