Bentonville Eviction Risk: Lower

Well under the midpoint, economic stress reads 1/10. Running cool, court filing pressure reads 1.4/10. The voucher gap is 26.3%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears.

Severe burden reaches 16%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. SNAP participation runs 5.2% against 15.2% nationally. It sits 0.6 points below the Benton County average of 3.6.

Nationally it ranks #67,219 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 3.6/10. Rent consumes only 13% of average household income of $127,668, an unusually wide affordability cushion.

Of its three components the socioeconomic standing measure is the least pressured. Poverty sits at 4%, low enough that arrears here usually signal a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. 28% of renter households spend at least 30% of income on rent.
