Bella Vista Eviction Risk: Lower

Pulling hardest the other way is economic stress at 1/10. Well under the midpoint, court filing pressure reads 1.4/10. Running cool, state political climate reads 1.5/10.

SNAP participation runs 4.6% against 15.2% nationally. Food insecurity runs 9.0% against 17.8% nationally. The voucher gap is 12.9%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears.

It sits 0.6 points below the Benton County average of 3.6. Average gross rent is $1,254, 10% below the Bella Vista average. On the national scale it lands near the 20th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored.

Only 12% 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 3.6/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.

Rent consumes only 17% of average household income of $89,947, an unusually wide affordability cushion. Of its three components the socioeconomic standing measure is the least pressured.

Poverty sits at 1%, low enough that arrears here usually signal a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.

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.
