Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Parkside

What pushes it up most is court filing pressure at 9.2/10. Well under the midpoint, economic stress reads 1.2/10.

On the softer side, rent-regulation exposure reads 1.5/10. 16% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears.

It sits 1.0 points below the Jefferson County average of 4.0. The filing record is not thin: 139 evictions over 14 years of observation. Filings peaked in 2004 at 3.9% of renter households.

In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground B ("Still Desirable"). 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 2.4% of renter households face a filing. On the national scale it lands near the 20th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored.

Social vulnerability reads 1.8/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.

All figures here are ACS 5-year estimates for this tract, refreshed as the underlying releases land.
