Wildwood Ridge Eviction Risk: Lower

1 census tracts · pop 5,101 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 3/10 · range 3–3

Wildwood Ridge maps to a single census tract in Little Rock, AR and houses 5,101 people. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 3/10, in the Lower tier. The severe-burden share is 55%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay.

Against a Little Rock baseline of 29.6%, 90% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line. At $3,501 a month, rents sit 217% over what the rest of Little Rock commands.

What pushes the score up most is supply constraint at 10/10. The voucher gap is 239.2%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears. On the softer side is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10.

Running cool is economic stress, at 1/10. CDC survey data puts housing insecurity at 6.0% of adults, against 14.2% nationally.

4.8% of adults carry no health insurance against 11.3% nationally, a common route into sudden unpayable debt. That places it #20 of 21 neighborhoods in Little Rock.

At 13% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out. The closest comparables inside the same city are Lamarche and Tall Timbers West. Poverty sits at 2%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.

Annual rent works out to 23% of average household income of $182,833.

One tract means one number: 3/10 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.
