Eastbrooke is a one-tract neighborhood of Mason City, IA and houses 4,045 people. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 3/10, Lower tier. Cost burden runs 37% against 24.8% citywide, putting Eastbrooke 12.4% over its own city.
The main counterweight is economic stress, at 1.2/10. Well under the midpoint is rent-regulation exposure, at 1.6/10.
15% are severely burdened, paying half their income or more in rent. That cohort has no absorption capacity for an unexpected bill, and it is where non-payment filings originate. Running cool is eviction-process difficulty, at 2.2/10.
The filing record is not thin: 53 evictions logged in this tract. The worst year on record was 2004, when filings touched 3.3% of renter households. Food insecurity affects 9.4% of adults, 8.4 points below the national rate.
The most recent observed rate, 0.8% in 2015, is well off that peak. That places it #4 of 4 neighborhoods in Mason City.
Only 24% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin here; price renewals off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices. For a like-for-like read, Fairways and Asbury score within a fraction of it.
Against average income of $103,558, annual rent is only 11%, a wide affordability cushion. Poverty sits at 5%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 3/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
