Pine Forest Eviction Risk: Moderate

1 census tracts · pop 4,570 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 4.7/10 · range 4.7–4.7

Pine Forest is a one-tract neighborhood of Little Rock, AR, population 4,570. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 4.7/10, Moderate tier. Against a Little Rock baseline of 29.6%, 59% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.

38% are severely burdened, paying half their income or more in rent. That cohort has no absorption capacity for an unexpected bill, and it is where non-payment filings originate. The main counterweight is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10. Set annual rent against average household income of $32,321 and the ratio lands at 37%, above the conventional 30% ceiling.

CDC survey data puts housing insecurity at 30.4% of adults, against 14.2% nationally. SNAP participation is 35.1% of households versus 15.2% nationally. The poverty rate is 30%, which shows up in this model as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment.

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 two streets over. Well under the midpoint is eviction-process difficulty, at 2/10.

On the softer side is housing-court posture, at 2/10. At $1,001 a month, rents sit 9% under what the rest of Little Rock commands. That places it #1 of 21 neighborhoods in Little Rock.

For a like-for-like read, Brownwood Terrace and Westwood score within a fraction of it. Social vulnerability runs high at 8/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input.

One tract means one number: 4.7/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
