Food insecurity affects 8.6% of adults, 9.2 points below the national rate. Filing activity peaked in 2016 at 14.3% of renter households.
Judgments average 10.7% of renter households a year, the share of filings that actually convert to an order. At 2% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out. The closest comparables inside the same city are Winding Creek and Woodhaven.
One tract means one number: 3.1/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
