25% are severely burdened, paying half their income or more in rent. That cohort has no absorption capacity for an unexpected bill, and it is where non-payment filings originate.

The strongest single driver of the headline number is tenant-organizing strength at 7.5/10. The poverty rate is 23%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest.
Sitting well above the midpoint is rent-regulation exposure at 7/10. On the high side is eviction-process difficulty at 7/10.
