Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Steeple Chase Terrace

On the softer side, housing-court posture reads 1.5/10. The poverty rate is 21%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest.

On the national scale it lands near the 53rd percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 8.9/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.
