What drives eviction risk in Hurricane
Running cool, state political climate reads 1.8/10. 16% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears.
Well under the midpoint, eviction-process difficulty reads 2.1/10. roughly one in four of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, below the Putnam County average of 32.7%. Average gross rent is $1,043, 19% above the Hurricane average.
Against the Putnam County average of 3.6, this tract reads safer for landlords by 0.6 points. Nationally it ranks #67,219 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. Only 23% 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.
On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 4.2/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Rent consumes only 12% of average household income of $101,490, an unusually wide affordability cushion. Of its three components the household composition measure is the least pressured.
Poverty sits at 3%, low enough that arrears here usually signal a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.
These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
