Analysis
What drives eviction risk in The W's
The clearest offset is state political climate at 1.5/10. On the high side, court filing pressure reads 8.3/10. Running cool, eviction-process difficulty reads 1.7/10.
13% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. The voucher gap is 16.5%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears.
Court records carry 197 eviction filings across 13 observed years. Average gross rent is $2,195, 12% above the The Colony average.
The worst year on record was 2007, when 16.7% of renter households were served. In a typical year about 8.1% of renter households face a filing. On the national scale it lands near the 40th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored.
Only 20% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin; price a renewal off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 4.6/10.
