Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Leonidas
The dominant input is regional political climate at 8.4/10. The poverty rate is 27%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. Running hot, local political climate reads 8/10.

Filings peaked in 2008 at 3.8% of renter households. In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground C ("Definitely Declining").

In a typical year about 2.6% of renter households face a filing.
On the national scale it lands near the 76th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 5.6/10.
