Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Doolittle
What moves this score most is housing court bias at 4.7/10. That part comes from the wider legal climate rather than the tract itself. Statewide and court-level factors such as eviction-process speed and rent-control exposure are inherited from Doolittle, while the economic and supply signals are measured at the tract level.
Set against its neighbors, this tract scores below the Phelps County average of 4.6 and below the Missouri statewide average of 4.8. Within its own county it reads on the safer side for landlords.
In CDC survey modeling, about 11.4% of adults here said they could not pay rent or mortgage at some point in the past year, and 8.9% faced a utility shutoff threat, a common early warning before a filing.
Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 69 eviction filings here over 11 tracked years, with about 2.0% of renter households facing a filing in a typical year. Filings peaked at 3.7% of renter households in 2006.
For a landlord, this is among the easier places to operate: faster process, lighter tenant-protection overhead, and shorter typical cases.
