· range 3.9–3.9
Bethel Heights maps to a single census tract in Springdale, AR, population 3,731. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 3.9/10, Lower tier. Against a Springdale baseline of 25.3%, 60% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.
The clearest offset is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10. Severe burden reaches 25%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears.
This is a renter market: 69% of occupied units are tenant-occupied. Running cool is housing-court posture, at 1.5/10.
On the softer side is eviction-process difficulty, at 2/10. 17.5% of adults report being unable to pay a utility bill, against a 9.2% national figure. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two.
Disability prevalence reaches 44.5% against a 31.5% national average, which raises the odds a reasonable-accommodation request accompanies any dispute. At $940 a month, rents sit 12% under what the rest of Springdale commands.
Social vulnerability runs high at 9.9/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input. Annual rent works out to 30% of average household income of $37,101.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 3.9/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
