Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Wilder Park
What pushes it up most is court filing pressure at 9.2/10. This is renter territory: 88% of occupied units are tenant-occupied. The poverty rate is 35%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest.
Running hot, economic stress reads 8.8/10. The severe-burden share is 23%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment. Running cool, rent-regulation exposure reads 1.5/10.
Against the Jefferson County average of 4.0, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.4 points. The filing record is not thin: 483 evictions over 14 years of observation. The worst year on record was 2012, when 8.8% 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. In a typical year about 6.5% of renter households face a filing.
That is riskier than roughly 70% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. Social vulnerability reads 5.8/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.
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.
