Analysis
What drives eviction risk in The Circles
This is renter territory: 76% of occupied units are tenant-occupied. Severe burden reaches 22%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate.
On the high side, court filing pressure reads 8/10. Disability prevalence runs 18.0% against 31.5% nationally. Well under the midpoint, state political climate reads 2.4/10.
SNAP participation runs 5.5% against 15.2% nationally. Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 287 filings here across 13 tracked years. Filings peaked in 2002 at 3.9% of renter households.
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 2.2% of renter households face a filing. That is riskier than roughly 55% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.
On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 4.5/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.
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.
