Collister Eviction Risk: Moderate

6 census tracts · pop 20,188 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 4.1/10 · range 3.3–4.6

Collister is a 6-tract neighborhood of Boise City, ID and houses 20,188 people. The Eviction Risk Score is 4.1/10, in the Moderate tier. Cost burden runs 56% against 29.6% citywide, putting Collister 26.6% over its own city.

Pulling the other way is rent-regulation exposure, at 1.2/10. Well under the midpoint is eviction-process difficulty, at 1.5/10. 21% 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.

Running cool is supply constraint, at 1.8/10. The 6 tracts inside this boundary do not behave alike. Individual scores run 3.3 to 4.6, a 1.3-point gap wide enough that the area average misleads on any specific address.

At $1,229 a month, rents sit 15% under what the rest of Boise City commands. That places it #4 of 12 neighborhoods in Boise City.

For a like-for-like read, Pioneer and Basque Block score within a fraction of it. Annual rent works out to 21% of average household income of $69,529.

38% of occupied units are renter-occupied.

For a specific building, read the per-tract breakdown below rather than the 4.1 headline, because the internal range is too wide to average safely. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
