Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Idlewild

On the softer side, economic stress reads 1.4/10. Running cool, rent-regulation exposure reads 1.5/10.

Court records carry 138 eviction filings across 4 observed years. Food insecurity runs 26.0% against 17.8% nationally. Filings peaked in 2014 at 18.8% of renter households.

In a typical year about 12.6% of renter households face a filing. Nationally it ranks #47,371 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. Only 19% 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.

CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 8.1/10. Of its three components the socioeconomic standing measure is the most pressured. Poverty sits at 5%, low enough that arrears here usually signal a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.

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.
