Thats a scary statistic.

@Tony Ma I agree, and from the statistics I've seen, about 28% of all houses are rented with only a 4% vacancy rate http://www.bestplaces.net/housing/city/texas/katy.

There are statistics out there that indicate below a certain score (599 and lower) there is more than 50% likelihood of having delinquency; see post linked below:https://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/52/topics/608...Now, the contrarian view is that if they have a high enough score, they will not be as likely to be long term renters - so you might get a vacancy sooner than if you had somebody with a dinged credit score.

You might say, that's statistically relevant.  

Insurance companies are all about the numbers and that is why they frown on certain breeds, because they are statistically more likely to have an "issue".

Overall, it takes a lot of special skills to be a landlord in Inglewood.Just looked up Inglewood's crime statistics and hot damn.

These statistics are a valuable tool in estimating risk and I would not operate my business without relying on scores as they are a proven valuable tool when a landlord knows how to interpret the entire report.

Hmm, that's not what the statistics you just quoted says.Distribution by Head of Household's Race as a % of 50058 ReceivedNationalWhite OnlyBlack/African American OnlyAmerican Indian Or Alaska Native OnlyAsian OnlyNative Hawaiin/Other Pacific Islander OnlyWhite, American Indian/Alaska Native OnlyWhite, Black/African American OnlyWhite, Asian OnlyAny Other CombinationUS48471210101Although Black Americans are 47% they only make up 14% of the population of the US.Latino/Hispanic isn't mentioned, but this part does break that down.Distribution by Head of Household's Ethnicity as a % of 50058 ReceivedNationalHispanic or LatinoNon - Hispanic or LatinoUS1783So, that leaves 31% as head of household as white people.

Statistically, people who are higher educated are more intelligent and earn more money...FACT.It's a single family home and the inspector searched every square inch of the place and found ZERO, let me say again ZERO evidence of bed bugs.

Yep, you're an engineer all right (takes one to know one) :) Where do you plan to get data from a statistically significant sample size to perform your regression test, I wonder?
