Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Prairie Creek Ridge

The severe-burden share is 19%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment. Running cool, court filing pressure reads 1.9/10.

Sitting well above the midpoint, rent-regulation exposure reads 7.3/10. Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 29 filings here across 4 tracked years.

SNAP participation runs 7.5% against 15.2% nationally. Inability to pay a utility bill runs 3.9% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two.

The worst year on record was 2010, when 3.4% of renter households were served. In a typical year about 1.9% of renter households face a filing.

That is riskier than roughly 31% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 1.8/10.

Rent consumes only 13% of average household income of $122,284, an unusually wide affordability cushion. 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.

These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
