Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Kecoughtan

Against the Hampton City average of 4.0, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.3 points. Running cool, supply constraint reads 2.8/10.

SNAP participation runs 24.3% against 15.2% nationally. The filing record is not thin: 574 evictions over 6 years of observation. On the high side, regional political climate reads 7.1/10.
