Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Greenmont

What moves this score most is economic stress at 8.7/10. That part is specific to this tract, computed from its own rent, income, and poverty figures.

The tract is predominantly White and ranks around the 25th percentile nationally on the CDC Social Vulnerability Index, a measure of how exposed residents are to housing and economic shocks. That is a relatively low-vulnerability reading.

In CDC survey modeling, about 12.7% of adults here said they could not pay rent or mortgage at some point in the past year, and 11.9% faced a utility shutoff threat, a common early warning before a filing.
