What drives eviction risk in Woodland Heights
The main counterweight is rent-regulation exposure at 1/10. Annualized rent equals 37% of average household income of $30,466, past the 30% affordability line, which thins the margin any screening standard has to work with.
This is renter territory: 66% of occupied units are tenant-occupied. On the softer side, tenant-organizing strength reads 2/10.
50% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, above the Greene County average of 41.2%. The poverty rate is 24%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. On the high side, court filing pressure reads 7.9/10.
Against the Greene County average of 3.7, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.1 points. The filing record is not thin: 524 evictions over 9 years of observation. Inability to pay a utility bill runs 14.9% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two.
The worst year on record was 2017, when 10.9% of renter households were served. In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground D ("Hazardous"). Redlining cut off mortgage credit to whole blocks for decades, and the areas graded D still carry measurably lower ownership and higher rent burden today. In a typical year about 9.7% of renter households face a filing.
That is riskier than roughly 58% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.
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.
