Fort Smith Eviction Risk: Moderate

The dominant input is economic stress at 9.7/10. The poverty rate is 39%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest.

On the softer side, rent-regulation exposure reads 1/10. The severe-burden share is 24%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment. Well under the midpoint, state political climate reads 1.5/10.

Adults with no health insurance runs 26.0% against 11.3% nationally. Against the Sebastian County average of 3.6, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.0 points.

At $805 a month, rents run 9% under what the rest of Fort Smith commands. Nationally it ranks #39,308 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 9.8/10.

Of its three components the household composition measure is the most pressured. 37% of renter households spend at least 30% of income on rent.

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.
