Running cool, eviction-process difficulty reads 2/10. The poverty rate is 23%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment.

That is riskier than roughly 61% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 8.7/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.
