What drives eviction risk in North By Northwest

What moves this score most is supply constraint at 7.5/10. That part is specific to this tract, computed from its own rent, income, and poverty figures.

Set against its neighbors, this tract scores above the Lubbock County average of 4.5 and in line with the Texas statewide average of 4.9. Within its own county it reads on the riskier side for landlords.
