Bentonville Eviction Risk: Moderate

The clearest offset is rent-regulation exposure at 1/10. Well under the midpoint, court filing pressure reads 1.4/10. 20% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears.

Running cool, state political climate reads 1.5/10. At $1,076 a month, rents run 20% under what the rest of Bentonville commands. SNAP participation runs 7.3% against 15.2% nationally.

It sits 0.6 points above the Benton County average of 3.6. Nationally it ranks #45,786 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. Social vulnerability reads 4.4/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.

Of its three components the housing type and transport measure is the least pressured. Annual rent works out to 21% of average household income of $61,594. 57% of occupied units are renter-occupied.

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.
