Analysis
What drives eviction risk in West End
The clearest offset is rent-regulation exposure at 1.3/10. Running cool, economic stress reads 1.4/10.
Well under the midpoint, state political climate reads 1.5/10. Food insecurity runs 6.5% against 17.8% nationally.
Housing insecurity runs 6.5% against 14.2% nationally. At $1,629 a month, rents run 13% over what the rest of Boise City commands.
That is riskier than roughly 20% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. At 20% renter-occupied this is predominantly owner territory, and comps have to be drawn from further out.
On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 1.3/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Against average income of $114,375, annual rent is just 17%.
Of its three components the household composition measure is the least pressured. Poverty sits at 6%, low enough that arrears here usually signal a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.
These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
