Linen District is a one-tract neighborhood of Boise City, ID, population 3,071. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 4.8/10, Moderate tier. 43% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, well above the Boise City rate of 29.6%.
The main counterweight is supply constraint, at 1/10. 83% of occupied units are rented, so comparables are plentiful and vacancy risk is low, but a mispriced renewal loses the tenant to a building two streets over.
Average gross rent is $985, 32% below the Boise City average of $1,446. On the softer side is rent-regulation exposure, at 1.3/10. Severe burden reaches 23%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears.
Well under the midpoint is eviction-process difficulty, at 1.5/10. The poverty rate is 17%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest.
Among the 12 mapped neighborhoods of Boise City, it ranks #1 by risk, the upper third. For a like-for-like read, BoDo and Central Bench score within a fraction of it.
Annual rent works out to 31% of average household income of $38,449.
One tract means one number: 4.8/10 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.
