Huffman Eviction Risk: Lower

Average gross rent is $2,537, 70% above the Anchorage average of $1,489. The strongest single driver of the headline number is supply constraint at 10/10.

The voucher gap is 62.3%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears. On the softer side is economic stress, at 1/10. Well under the midpoint is rent-regulation exposure, at 1.5/10.

12% 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. SNAP participation is 4.9% of households versus 15.2% nationally. Food insecurity affects 7.4% of adults, 10.4 points below the national rate.

Among the 5 mapped neighborhoods of Anchorage, it ranks #5 by risk, the lower third. Only 3% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin here; price renewals off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices. The closest comparables inside the same city are Eagle River and State Manor.

Against average income of $165,375, annual rent is only 18%, a wide affordability cushion. Poverty sits at 2%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.

One tract means one number: 3/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
