Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Hartford

Running hot, rent-regulation exposure reads 7.2/10. Court records carry 290 eviction filings across 18 observed years. Food insecurity runs 10.6% against 17.8% nationally.

Average gross rent is $1,220, 10% above the Hartford average. Filings peaked in 2011 at 4.7% of renter households.

In a typical year about 2.7% of renter households face a filing. Nationally it ranks #37,882 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 4.2/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.

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.
