Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Central City / Liberty-Wells
Well under the midpoint, state political climate reads 1.9/10. SNAP participation runs 4.4% against 15.2% nationally.
Running hot, local political climate reads 7.5/10. Severe burden reaches 10%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate.
Court records carry 121 eviction filings across 9 observed years. Food insecurity runs 10.2% against 17.8% nationally.
The worst year on record was 2008, when 3.6% of renter households were served. In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground B ("Still Desirable"). Redlining cut off mortgage credit to whole blocks for decades, and the areas graded D still carry measurably lower ownership and higher rent burden today. In a typical year about 2.6% of renter households face a filing.
That is riskier than roughly 35% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 5.4/10.
Poverty sits at 5%, low enough that arrears here usually signal a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. Rent takes 30% or more of income for 44% of renters.
All figures here are ACS 5-year estimates for this tract, refreshed as the underlying releases land.
