Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Parkwood
The dominant input is court filing pressure at 9.8/10. Running hot, rent-regulation exposure reads 9.2/10. On the softer side, economic stress reads 1.2/10.
Disability prevalence runs 17.6% against 31.5% nationally. The voucher gap is 21.1%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears.
SNAP participation runs 3.2% against 15.2% nationally. Average gross rent is $2,801, 19% below the South Kensington average. Severe burden reaches 11%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate.
On the national scale it lands near the 70th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. Only 12% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin; price a renewal off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices.
On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 1.7/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Against average income of $206,985, annual rent is just 16%. Of its three components the socioeconomic standing measure is the least pressured.
All figures here are ACS 5-year estimates for this tract, refreshed as the underlying releases land.
