Slaterville Eviction Risk: Moderate

1 census tracts · pop 2,683 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 4.3/10 · range 4.3–4.3

Slaterville maps to a single census tract in Fairbanks, AK and houses 2,683 people. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 4.3/10, Moderate tier. The clearest offset is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10.

Well under the midpoint is economic stress, at 1.5/10. 66% of occupied units are rented, so comparables are plentiful and vacancy risk is low, but a mispriced renewal loses the tenant to a building two streets over.

On the softer side is tenant-organizing strength, at 2/10. Average gross rent is $1,222, 18% below the Fairbanks average of $1,496.

11% 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. Cost burden runs 26% against 30.1% citywide, putting Slaterville 3.9% under its own city. That places it #5 of 5 neighborhoods in Fairbanks.

The closest comparables inside the same city are Totem Park and Hamilton Acres. Rent takes 19% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market. Poverty sits at 6%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.

One tract means one number: 4.3/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
