In a typical year about 2.4% of renter households face a filing. On the national scale it lands near the 20th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored.

Only 7% 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 1/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.

Against average income of $158,500, annual rent is just 14%.
