What drives eviction risk in Downtown
The dominant input is economic stress at 9.6/10. SNAP participation runs 36.5% against 15.2% nationally. The poverty rate is 39%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest.
Annualized rent equals 39% of average household income of $24,245, past the 30% affordability line, which thins the margin any screening standard has to work with. Severe burden reaches 25%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. Running cool, rent-regulation exposure reads 1/10.
This is renter territory: 80% of occupied units are tenant-occupied. Disability prevalence runs 49.7% against 31.5% nationally. On the high side, court filing pressure reads 8.6/10.
