Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Applewood Hill

21% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. Running hot, local political climate reads 8/10.

Food insecurity runs 6.2% against 17.8% nationally. On the high side, regional political climate reads 7.6/10.

Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 63 filings here across 12 tracked years. Inability to pay a utility bill runs 3.0% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two. Filings peaked in 2009 at 1.5% of renter households.

In a typical year about 0.6% of renter households face a filing. That is riskier than roughly 46% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.

Social vulnerability reads 3.2/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks. Of its three components the socioeconomic standing measure is the least pressured. Poverty sits at 5%, low enough that arrears here usually signal a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.

Rent takes 30% or more of income for 41% of renters.

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.
