Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Innswood

The score leans hardest on economic stress at 6.1/10. That part is specific to this tract, computed from its own rent, income, and poverty figures. Statewide and court-level factors such as eviction-process speed and rent-control exposure are inherited from Hattiesburg eviction risk, while the economic and supply signals are measured at the tract level.

Set against its neighbors, this tract scores above the Forrest County average of 4.3 and in line with the Mississippi statewide average of 4.7. Within its own county it reads on the riskier side for landlords.

The tract is White and Black and ranks around the 75th percentile nationally on the CDC Social Vulnerability Index, a measure of how exposed residents are to housing and economic shocks. High vulnerability tends to track with higher eviction-filing rates when rents climb.

In CDC survey modeling, about 10.9% of adults here said they could not pay rent or mortgage at some point in the past year, and 7.4% faced a utility shutoff threat, a common early warning before a filing.

For a landlord, conditions here are middle-of-the-road. Standard screening and prompt, documented notices usually keep cases short.
