The filing record is not thin: 852 evictions over 17 years of observation. The worst year on record was 2002, when 17.0% of renter households were served.
In a typical year about 8.6% of renter households face a filing. That is riskier than roughly 63% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 8/10.
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.
