Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Meridian
The clearest offset is rent-regulation exposure at 1/10. Severe burden reaches 25%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. Running cool, state political climate reads 1.5/10.
On the softer side, tenant-organizing strength reads 1.5/10. SNAP participation runs 6.3% against 15.2% nationally. Food insecurity runs 9.5% against 17.8% nationally.
On the national scale it lands near the 38th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. Only 10% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin; price a renewal off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices.
Social vulnerability reads 2.5/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks. Of its three components the housing type and transport measure is the least pressured.
It tracks the Ada County average of 3.5 closely. Average gross rent is $1,938, close to the Meridian average.
Annual rent works out to 24% of average household income of $95,922.
These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
