· range 3–4.1
Eagle River spans 3 census tracts of Anchorage, AK, population 19,226. The Eviction Risk Score is 3.3/10, in the Lower tier. Cost burden runs 44% against 28.5% citywide, putting Eagle River 15.5% over its own city.
Average gross rent is $2,121, 42% above the Anchorage average of $1,489. The voucher gap is 35.7%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears.
The clearest offset is economic stress, at 1.3/10. On the softer side is rent-regulation exposure, at 1.5/10. The severe-burden share is 17%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay.
Internally this is not one market. Tract scores span 3 to 4.1, so two buildings inside the same boundary can carry materially different risk. On the high side is supply constraint at 7.3/10. SNAP participation is 6.5% of households versus 15.2% nationally.
Food insecurity affects 9.4% of adults, 8.4 points below the national rate. Among the 5 mapped neighborhoods of Anchorage, it ranks #4 by risk, the lower third. At 23% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out.
For a specific building, read the per-tract breakdown below rather than the 3.3 headline, because the internal range is too wide to average safely. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
