What drives eviction risk in Business District

What pushes it up most is economic stress at 9.2/10. SNAP participation runs 35.9% against 15.2% nationally. The poverty rate is 37%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest.

Well under the midpoint, rent-regulation exposure reads 1/10. Annualized rent equals 34% of average household income of $26,006, past the 30% affordability line, which thins the margin any screening standard has to work with.

Running cool, tenant-organizing strength reads 1.5/10. Severe burden reaches 16%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. Inability to pay a utility bill runs 18.7% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two.

Against the Harrison County average of 3.7, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 0.9 points. Nationally it ranks #39,308 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty.

On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 8/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Of its three components the housing type and transport measure is the most pressured.
