Severe burden reaches 19%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. Food insecurity affects 34.6% of adults, 16.8 points above the national rate.
Well under the midpoint is eviction-process difficulty, at 2/10. Running cool is housing-court posture, at 2/10.
The poverty rate is 22%, which shows up in this model as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. Average gross rent is $1,017, 8% below the Little Rock average of $1,106. That places it #12 of 21 neighborhoods in Little Rock.
The closest comparables inside the same city are Chickasaw Place and Twin Lakes. Social vulnerability runs high at 9.2/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input. Annual rent works out to 27% of average household income of $44,688.
One tract means one number: 4.6/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
