Forest Hill Eviction Risk: Moderate , Little Rock

This is renter territory: 100% of occupied units are tenant-occupied. The main counterweight is rent-regulation exposure at 1/10. Severe burden reaches 23%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate.

The poverty rate is 33%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. Well under the midpoint, state political climate reads 1.5/10. On the high side, economic stress reads 8.3/10.

At $854 a month, rents run 23% under what the rest of Little Rock commands. Inability to pay a utility bill runs 20.9% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two. SNAP participation runs 25.7% against 15.2% nationally.

It sits 0.8 points above the Pulaski County average of 3.9. In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground B ("Still Desirable"). Redlining cut off mortgage credit to whole blocks for decades, and the areas graded D still carry measurably lower ownership and higher rent burden today.

That is riskier than roughly 55% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 6/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Statewide the AR average is 3.8, so this tract runs 0.9 points hotter.

These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
