Bridgeport Eviction Risk: Lower

The main counterweight is eviction-process difficulty at 1.3/10. At $791 a month, rents run 28% under what the rest of Bridgeport commands. On the softer side, state political climate reads 1.8/10.

Well under the midpoint, economic stress reads 1.9/10. SNAP participation runs 26.6% against 15.2% nationally. Inability to pay a utility bill runs 14.4% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two.

On the national scale it lands near the 25th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 6.3/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.

Of its three components the socioeconomic standing measure is the most pressured. It tracks the Harrison County average of 3.7 closely.

Annual rent works out to 20% of average household income of $48,250. 42% of occupied units are renter-occupied.

Tract-level figures come from the ACS 5-year release and are rebuilt whenever that, the court-record feed, or the statutory ledger behind the score changes.
