Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Hutton Park
Annualized rent equals 38% of average household income of $48,798, past the 30% affordability line, which thins the margin any screening standard has to work with. Severe burden reaches 24%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate.
This is renter territory: 78% of occupied units are tenant-occupied. Adults with no health insurance runs 29.2% against 11.3% nationally. The poverty rate is 32%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment.
Sitting well above the midpoint, economic stress reads 8.1/10. Inability to pay a utility bill runs 21.1% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two. Running hot, regional political climate reads 7.8/10.
The filing record is not thin: 2,298 evictions over 6 years of observation. The worst year on record was 2017, when 32.4% of renter households were served.
In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground C ("Definitely Declining"). 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 32.1% of renter households face a filing.
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.
