Wildcat Creek Heights Eviction Risk: Lower

What pushes the score up most is tenant-organizing strength at 8.7/10. 23% are severely burdened, paying half their income or more in rent. That cohort has no absorption capacity for an unexpected bill, and it is where non-payment filings originate.

Running cool is economic stress, at 1.6/10. At $1,390 a month, rents sit 19% over what the rest of Greenfield commands. Court records carry 773 eviction filings across its 2 observed tracts.

4.1% of adults report being unable to pay a utility bill, below a 9.2% national figure. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two. Filing activity peaked in 2010 at 5.5% of renter households.

Food insecurity affects 8.9% of adults, 8.9 points below the national rate. The voucher gap is 10.6%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears. The most recent observed rate, 2.2% in 2017, is well off that peak.

That places it #6 of 7 neighborhoods in Greenfield. The closest comparables inside the same city are Jackson Park Homes and Greenfield Glen.

With little internal variation, 3/10 is a fair proxy for any address inside the boundary. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
