Analysis
What drives eviction risk in White City
79% of occupied units are rented, so comparables are plentiful and vacancy risk is low, but a mispriced renewal loses the tenant to a building nearby. The severe-burden share is 23%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment.
Running hot, court filing pressure reads 8.4/10. Food insecurity runs 33.4% against 17.8% nationally. Housing insecurity runs 26.4% against 14.2% nationally.
The poverty rate is 19%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. Well under the midpoint, eviction-process difficulty reads 2.7/10.
Court records carry 58 eviction filings across 1 observed years. The voucher gap is 14.0%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears. Filings peaked in 2016 at 10.4% of renter households.
In a typical year about 10.4% of renter households face a filing. Nationally it ranks #31,049 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty.
Tract-level figures come from the ACS 5-year release and are rebuilt whenever that, the court-record feed, or the statutory ledger behind the score changes.
