Analysis

What drives eviction risk in West Ridge

The main counterweight is eviction-process difficulty at 1.6/10. Well under the midpoint, state political climate reads 1.9/10. On the softer side, supply constraint reads 2/10.

Severe burden reaches 8%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. At $726 a month, rents run 14% under what the rest of Bristol commands.

That is riskier than roughly 46% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. Social vulnerability reads 6.9/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks. Of its three components the household composition measure is the most pressured.

It tracks the Sullivan County average of 3.7 closely. Annual rent works out to 18% of average household income of $47,375. 57% of occupied units are renter-occupied.

These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
