Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Asbury
What moves this score most is supply constraint at 4.1/10. That part is specific to this tract, computed from its own rent, income, and poverty figures. Statewide and court-level factors such as eviction-process speed and rent-control exposure are inherited from Mason City eviction risk, while the economic and supply signals are measured at the tract level.
Set against its neighbors, this tract scores below the Cerro Gordo County average of 3.9 and below the Iowa statewide average of 4.3. Within its own county it reads on the safer side for landlords.
Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 103 eviction filings here over 10 tracked years, with about 1.8% of renter households facing a filing in a typical year. Filings peaked at 3.0% of renter households in 2014.
The tract is predominantly White and ranks around the 24th percentile nationally on the CDC Social Vulnerability Index, a measure of how exposed residents are to housing and economic shocks. That is a relatively low-vulnerability reading.
