Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Mclellan Heights
17% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. On the softer side, state political climate reads 2.3/10. Well under the midpoint, eviction-process difficulty reads 2.5/10.
Court records carry 286 eviction filings across 6 observed years. The worst year on record was 2004, when 13.5% of renter households were served.
In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground C ("Definitely Declining"). 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. In a typical year about 11.0% of renter households face a filing.
On the national scale it lands near the 44th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. Social vulnerability reads 5.9/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks. Of its three components the household composition measure is the least pressured.
41% of renter households spend at least 30% of income on rent. It tracks the Scott County average of 3.7 closely.
