Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Innswood

The main counterweight is rent-regulation exposure at 1/10. The severe-burden share is 27%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment.

Well under the midpoint, state political climate reads 1.8/10. The poverty rate is 25%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest.

On the softer side, housing-court posture reads 2.5/10. SNAP participation runs 7.6% against 15.2% nationally. Average gross rent is $912, 9% below the Hattiesburg average.

That is riskier than roughly 47% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 7.8/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Of its three components the socioeconomic standing measure is the most pressured.

It tracks the Forrest County average of 4.1 closely. Annual rent works out to 18% of average household income of $60,341. 41% of occupied units are renter-occupied.

These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
