Well under the midpoint is eviction-process difficulty, at 3/10. Judgments average 9.2% of renter households a year, the share of filings that actually convert to an order. Social vulnerability runs high at 8.5/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input.
Average gross rent runs $1,652, close to the Dumfries average.
One tract means one number: 5.4/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
