Of the evaluable markets, 4 are monopolized or service-desert in the subject county:
| Market | Status |
|---|---|
| Electric | competitive / cooperative — not concentrated |
| Broadband | monopoly |
| Banking | adequate |
| Legal aid | adequate |
| Food access | desert |
| Predatory lending | capture |
| Hospital | single-system monopoly |
7 of 8 markers evaluable; rent-to-own data not available for this county and is excluded from the count rather than assumed absent.
Partially redacted in this sample.
The composite reads 27.3 because the county runs on a low-rate cooperative utility (12.9¢/kWh residential, not an investor-owned monopoly) and a mild-to-hot climate. But the lowest-income households (0-30% AMI) already spend 15.4% of income on energy, 2.5× the federal energy-poverty threshold.
With 33% renters and 46% of households cost-burdened, the eviction-risk composite is driven by housing cost, not energy.
A single hospital system, a broadband monopoly, a food desert, and predatory-lending capture compound on the same low-income households.
