Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Anchorage

The clearest offset is supply constraint at 1/10. 86% of occupied units are rented, so comparables are plentiful and vacancy risk is low, but a mispriced renewal loses the tenant to a building nearby.

Running cool, rent-regulation exposure reads 1.5/10. Well under the midpoint, state political climate reads 2.2/10.

Against the Anchorage Municipality average of 3.9, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.2 points. Severe burden reaches 12%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate.

On the national scale it lands near the 63rd percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 7.7/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.

Statewide the AK average is 3.9, so this tract runs 1.2 points hotter. Of its three components the socioeconomic standing measure is the most pressured.

Rent takes 30% or more of income for 44% of renters. Annual rent works out to 23% of average household income of $48,125.

Tract-level figures come from the ACS 5-year release and are rebuilt whenever that, the court-record feed, or the statutory ledger behind the score changes.
