Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Jovita
Average gross rent is $1,232, 35% below the Lakeland South average. On the softer side, court filing pressure reads 2.3/10. Severe burden reaches 13%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate.
Sitting well above the midpoint, regional political climate reads 7.6/10. Court records carry 37 eviction filings across 10 observed years. Against King County at 44.1%, 40% of renters here are cost-burdened.
It sits 0.6 points below the King County average of 6.7. The worst year on record was 2011, when 4.6% of renter households were served. In a typical year about 3.0% of renter households face a filing.
That is riskier than roughly 79% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. Only 19% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin; price a renewal off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices.
Social vulnerability reads 5.4/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks. Rent consumes only 13% of average household income of $115,250, an unusually wide affordability cushion.
These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
