Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Fox Pause

The dominant input is supply constraint at 10/10. Average gross rent is $3,501, 71% above the Columbia average. The voucher gap is 78.2%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears.

Sitting well above the midpoint, court filing pressure reads 9.9/10. Running cool, economic stress reads 1/10. The severe-burden share is 22%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment.

Disability prevalence runs 15.4% against 31.5% nationally. Adults with no health insurance runs 3.1% against 11.3% nationally. That is riskier than roughly 70% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.

At 6% renter-occupied this is predominantly owner territory, and comps have to be drawn from further out. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 1/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Rent consumes only 17% of average household income of $250,001, an unusually wide affordability cushion.

Of its three components the housing type and transport measure is the least pressured.
