Garden City Eviction Risk: Lower

Well under the midpoint, economic stress reads 1.3/10. Cost burden runs 54% here against 42.7% across Ada County.

Running cool, state political climate reads 1.5/10. Severe burden reaches 15%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. SNAP participation runs 6.0% against 15.2% nationally.

Food insecurity runs 9.2% against 17.8% nationally. That is riskier than roughly 20% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 5.3/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.

Of its three components the housing type and transport measure is the most pressured. Poverty sits at 5%, low enough that arrears here usually signal a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.

It tracks the Ada County average of 3.5 closely. Average gross rent is $1,425, close to the Garden City average. Annual rent works out to 20% of average household income of $87,500.

31% of occupied units are renter-occupied.

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.
