Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Old Town
Severe burden reaches 26%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. On the softer side, state political climate reads 1.5/10. On the high side, court filing pressure reads 8.2/10.
Adults with no health insurance runs 22.6% against 11.3% nationally. The poverty rate is 21%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. This ground was mapped A ("Best") on the 1930s HOLC security maps for Beaumont. That grading determined who could get a mortgage, and its imprint on tenure and rent burden is still visible in the ACS data above.
That is riskier than roughly 35% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 9.4/10. Of its three components the household composition measure is the most pressured.
Rent takes 30% or more of income for roughly one in two of renters. It tracks the Jefferson County average of 4.0 closely.
