Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Meridian

Running cool, economic stress reads 1/10. At $1,298 a month, rents run 28% under what the rest of Meridian commands.

Well under the midpoint, state political climate reads 1.5/10. Cost burden runs 49% here against 42.7% across Ada County.

The severe-burden share is 10%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment. That is riskier than roughly 27% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.

Social vulnerability reads 4.4/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks. Of its three components the household composition measure is the least pressured.

Poverty sits at 3%, 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.

Annual rent works out to 22% of average household income of $70,559. 52% of occupied units are renter-occupied.

These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
