In a typical year about 4.6% of renter households face a filing. That is riskier than roughly 85% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.

Of its three components the housing type and transport measure is the most pressured. It tracks the King County average of 6.7 closely.
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.
