What drives eviction risk in Villages at Lakepointe
What moves this score most is economic stress at 3.7/10. That part is specific to this tract, computed from its own rent, income, and poverty figures.

The tract is Hispanic or Latino and Asian and ranks around the 77th percentile nationally on the CDC Social Vulnerability Index, a measure of how exposed residents are to housing and economic shocks. High vulnerability tends to track with higher eviction-filing rates when rents climb.
