Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Tea Kettle Corner
What moves this score most is tenant organizing strength at 9.2/10. That part comes from the wider legal climate rather than the tract itself.

In CDC survey modeling, about 7.5% of adults here said they could not pay rent or mortgage at some point in the past year, and 5.5% faced a utility shutoff threat, a common early warning before a filing.
The tract is predominantly White and ranks around the 19th percentile nationally on the CDC Social Vulnerability Index, a measure of how exposed residents are to housing and economic shocks. That is a relatively low-vulnerability reading.
