What drives eviction risk in Pabst Park
Severe burden reaches 24%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. The score leans hardest on court filing pressure at 8.1/10. On the high side, local political climate reads 7.5/10.
The poverty rate is 20%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. Well under the midpoint, rent-regulation exposure reads 2.5/10. SNAP participation runs 24.1% against 15.2% nationally.
The filing record is not thin: 532 evictions over 13 years of observation. The worst year on record was 2010, when 10.7% of renter households were served.
In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground B ("Still Desirable"). Redlining cut off mortgage credit to whole blocks for decades, and the areas graded D still carry measurably lower ownership and higher rent burden today. In a typical year about 7.9% of renter households face a filing. On the national scale it lands near the 49th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored.
Social vulnerability reads 3.2/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks. Against average income of $84,519, annual rent is just 16%.
These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
