Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Doolittle

Average gross rent is $821, 30% above the Doolittle average. 20% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. Cost burden runs 33% here against 42.8% across Phelps County.

Running cool, state political climate reads 2.1/10. It sits 1.1 points below the Phelps County average of 4.1. Well under the midpoint, rent-regulation exposure reads 2.8/10.

Court records carry 69 eviction filings across 11 observed years. Filings peaked in 2006 at 3.7% of renter households. In a typical year about 2.0% of renter households face a filing.

Nationally it ranks #67,219 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. Only 18% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin; price a renewal off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices. Social vulnerability reads 4.3/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.

Against average income of $59,904, annual rent is just 16%. Of its three components the household composition measure is the least pressured.

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.
