Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Steele Creek

What moves this score most is supply constraint at 4.9/10. That part is specific to this tract, computed from its own rent, income, and poverty figures.

In CDC survey modeling, about 13.9% of adults here said they could not pay rent or mortgage at some point in the past year, and 8.7% faced a utility shutoff threat, a common early warning before a filing.

The tract is Black and White and ranks around the 61st percentile nationally on the CDC Social Vulnerability Index, a measure of how exposed residents are to housing and economic shocks. That is a middle-of-the-pack reading for social vulnerability.
