Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Tract 37171931003

The poverty rate is 24%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. Well under the midpoint, local political climate reads 2.3/10. It sits 1.0 points above the Surry County average of 3.9.
Adults with no health insurance runs 20.1% against 11.3% nationally. The filing record is not thin: 115 evictions over 18 years of observation. Food insecurity runs 25.0% against 17.8% nationally.
Filings peaked in 2005 at 3.6% of renter households. In a typical year about 2.0% of renter households face a filing.
On the national scale it lands near the 59th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. Social vulnerability reads 7.8/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.
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.
