Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Homestead Park
What moves this score most is supply constraint at 4.4/10. That part is specific to this tract, computed from its own rent, income, and poverty figures.

In CDC survey modeling, about 18.0% of adults here said they could not pay rent or mortgage at some point in the past year, and 12.5% faced a utility shutoff threat, a common early warning before a filing.
Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 711 eviction filings here over 14 tracked years, with about 6.1% of renter households facing a filing in a typical year. Filings peaked at 11.8% of renter households in 2014.
For a landlord, conditions here are middle-of-the-road. Standard screening and prompt, documented notices usually keep cases short.
