Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Huffman
The dominant input is supply constraint at 10/10. At $2,537 a month, rents run 70% over what the rest of Anchorage commands.
The voucher gap is 62.3%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears. Running cool, economic stress reads 1/10. Well under the midpoint, rent-regulation exposure reads 1.5/10.
The severe-burden share is 12%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment. Food insecurity runs 7.4% against 17.8% nationally.
SNAP participation runs 4.9% against 15.2% nationally. It sits 0.9 points below the Anchorage Municipality average of 3.9.
On the national scale it lands near the 20th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. Only 3% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin; price a renewal off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 3.2/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.
Statewide the AK average is 3.9, so this tract runs 0.9 points cooler.
All figures here are ACS 5-year estimates for this tract, refreshed as the underlying releases land.
