Analysis
What drives eviction risk in White City
What moves this score most is tenant organizing strength at 9.7/10. That part comes from the wider legal climate rather than the tract itself.

Set against its neighbors, this tract scores below the Emporia City County average of 6.4 and above the Virginia statewide average of 5.3. Within its own county it reads on the safer side for landlords.
Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 39 eviction filings here over 1 tracked years, with about 5.6% of renter households facing a filing in a typical year. Filings peaked at 5.6% of renter households in 2016.
In CDC survey modeling, about 17.8% of adults here said they could not pay rent or mortgage at some point in the past year, and 12.5% faced a utility shutoff threat, a common early warning before a filing.
