This is renter territory: 100% of occupied units are tenant-occupied. Disability prevalence runs 53.8% against 31.5% nationally. 30% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears.
The poverty rate is 40%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. Annualized rent equals 42% of average household income of $29,875, past the 30% affordability line, which thins the margin any screening standard has to work with. Well under the midpoint, rent-regulation exposure reads 1/10.
