Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Nobility Hill Historic District
The main counterweight is economic stress at 1.3/10. Sitting well above the midpoint, local political climate reads 8.3/10. Food insecurity runs 6.2% against 17.8% nationally.
Severe burden reaches 13%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. Running cool, court filing pressure reads 2.5/10. Adults with no health insurance runs 2.5% against 11.3% nationally.
The filing record is not thin: 18 evictions over 5 years of observation. The worst year on record was 2012, when 5.8% of renter households were served.
This ground was mapped B ("Still Desirable") on the 1930s HOLC security maps for Winchester. That grading determined who could get a mortgage, and its imprint on tenure and rent burden is still visible in the ACS data above. In a typical year about 3.4% of renter households face a filing.
On the national scale it lands near the 35th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored.
Tract-level figures come from the ACS 5-year release and are rebuilt whenever that, the court-record feed, or the statutory ledger behind the score changes.
