Ustick Eviction Risk: Lower

9 census tracts · pop 31,878 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 3.6/10 · range 3–4.2

Ustick spans 9 census tracts of Boise City, ID and houses 31,878 people. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 3.6/10, Lower tier. Cost burden runs 49% against 29.6% citywide, putting Ustick 19.4% over its own city.

The main counterweight is rent-regulation exposure, at 1.3/10. On the softer side is eviction-process difficulty, at 1.6/10. Severe burden reaches 20%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears.

Well under the midpoint is economic stress, at 1.6/10. The 9 tracts inside this boundary do not behave alike. Individual scores run 3 to 4.2, a 1.2-point gap wide enough that the area average misleads on any specific address.

SNAP participation is 7.1% of households versus 15.2% nationally. That places it #8 of 12 neighborhoods in Boise City.

At 23% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out. Poverty sits at 6%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. Average gross rent runs $1,487, close to the Boise City average.

Annual rent works out to 22% of average household income of $82,973.

Underwrite the address, not the area: with 1.2 points between its best and worst tract, the per-tract table below is the operative number. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
