Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Hamilton Park
Running cool, economic stress reads 1.2/10. The severe-burden share is 13%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment. Running hot, court filing pressure reads 7.6/10.

In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground B ("Still Desirable"). 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 4.8% of renter households face a filing. Nationally it ranks #50,654 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty.
Social vulnerability reads 4.5/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks. Against average income of $92,519, annual rent is just 18%.
