Bentonville Eviction Risk: Lower

The voucher gap is 35.0%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears. Pulling hardest the other way is rent-regulation exposure at 1/10. On the softer side, economic stress reads 1/10.

Running cool, court filing pressure reads 1.4/10. SNAP participation runs 3.2% against 15.2% nationally.

Housing insecurity runs 6.9% against 14.2% nationally. Average gross rent is $1,500, 12% above the Bentonville average. Against the Benton County average of 3.6, this tract reads safer for landlords by 0.6 points.

On the national scale it lands near the 20th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. At 14% renter-occupied this is predominantly owner territory, and comps have to be drawn from further out. Social vulnerability reads 1.5/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.

Rent consumes only 10% of average household income of $173,355, an unusually wide affordability cushion.

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.
