Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Bluff View

Against Brown County at 39.5%, 71% of renters here are cost-burdened. What pushes it up most is economic stress at 10/10. The poverty rate is 45%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest.

Annualized rent equals 44% of average household income of $19,915, past the 30% affordability line, which thins the margin any screening standard has to work with. Disability prevalence runs 49.6% against 31.5% nationally.

On the softer side, regional political climate reads 1.4/10. On the high side, tenant-organizing strength reads 8.6/10.

Adults with no health insurance runs 26.6% against 11.3% nationally. 66% of occupied units are rented, so comparables are plentiful and vacancy risk is low, but a mispriced renewal loses the tenant to a building nearby.

It sits 1.6 points above the Brown County average of 3.8. Average gross rent is $731, 17% below the Brownwood average. That is riskier than roughly 70% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.

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