The severe-burden share is 27%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. The 5 tracts inside this boundary do not behave alike. Individual scores run 3 to 5.2, a 2.2-point gap wide enough that the area average misleads on any specific address. Pulling the other way is eviction-process difficulty, at 2.8/10.

Annual rent works out to 24% of average household income of $71,435.
31% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
For a specific building, read the per-tract breakdown below rather than the 3.9 headline, because the internal range is too wide to average safely. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
