Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Salt Creek Commons
The main counterweight is eviction-process difficulty at 1.6/10. Well under the midpoint, state political climate reads 2/10.
The voucher gap is 23.6%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears. Running hot, supply constraint reads 7.4/10.
The severe-burden share is 9%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment. Court records carry 7 eviction filings across 2 observed years. SNAP participation runs 8.0% against 15.2% nationally.
The worst year on record was 2014, when 1.8% of renter households were served. In a typical year about 1.5% of renter households face a filing.
That is riskier than roughly 42% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. At 16% renter-occupied this is predominantly owner territory, and comps have to be drawn from further out.
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.
