Southeast Boise takes in 4 census tracts of Boise City, ID and houses 10,284 people. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 3.4/10, Lower tier. The clearest offset is rent-regulation exposure, at 1.3/10.
Running cool is eviction-process difficulty, at 1.5/10. Scores across the 4 constituent tracts range from 3 to 4.8. A 1.8-point internal spread means block-level underwriting beats area-level here. Well under the midpoint is housing-court posture, at 1.9/10.
Severe burden reaches 13%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. Average gross rent is $1,676, 16% above the Boise City average of $1,446. Cost burden runs around a third against 29.6% citywide, putting Southeast Boise 4.0% over its own city.
SNAP participation is 5.9% of households versus 15.2% nationally. Food insecurity affects 8.9% of adults, 8.9 points below the national rate. That places it #9 of 12 neighborhoods in Boise City.
For a like-for-like read, Hillcrest and Ustick score within a fraction of it. Rent takes 19% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market.
43% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
For a specific building, read the per-tract breakdown below rather than the 3.4 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.
