Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Heart of the Westside
27% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. Running cool, tenant-organizing strength reads 2/10. Running hot, court filing pressure reads 7.9/10.
The poverty rate is 22%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. SNAP participation runs 25.9% against 15.2% nationally.
Against Greene County at 41.2%, 47% of renters here are cost-burdened. Food insecurity runs 27.6% against 17.8% nationally. Against the Greene County average of 3.7, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.0 points.
The filing record is not thin: 638 evictions over 9 years of observation. The worst year on record was 2016, when 10.8% 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.
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.
