Applegate Eviction Risk: Moderate , Little Rock

Against Pulaski County at 42.5%, roughly three in four of renters here are cost-burdened. What pushes it up most is economic stress at 10/10.

Food insecurity runs 42.7% against 17.8% nationally. The poverty rate is 43%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment.

Running cool, rent-regulation exposure reads 1/10. Annualized rent equals 36% of average household income of $28,092, past the 30% affordability line, which thins the margin any screening standard has to work with. On the softer side, state political climate reads 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 nearby. Average gross rent is $845, 24% below the Little Rock average.

Adults with no health insurance runs 21.8% against 11.3% nationally. Against the Pulaski County average of 3.9, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 0.8 points.

This ground was mapped D ("Hazardous") on the 1930s HOLC security maps for Little Rock. That grading determined who could get a mortgage, and its imprint on tenure and rent burden is still visible in the ACS data above. Nationally it ranks #37,882 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 9.6/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.

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.
