Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Tract 54029021100
The main counterweight is state political climate at 1.8/10. Running cool, local political climate reads 1.8/10.
On the softer side, rent-regulation exposure reads 1.8/10. Severe burden reaches 16%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. Nationally it ranks #52,479 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty.
Only 15% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin; price a renewal off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 2.7/10.
Rent consumes only 10% of average household income of $72,857, an unusually wide affordability cushion. Of its three components the household composition measure is the least pressured.
Model confidence here is 65%, lower than typical because some ACS inputs for this tract carry wide margins of error, so read the score as a band, not a point. It tracks the Hancock County average of 3.8 closely.
All figures here are ACS 5-year estimates for this tract, refreshed as the underlying releases land.
