Countryside of Clinton spans 3 census tracts of Clinton, IA, population 11,022. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 4.5/10, in the Moderate tier. 45% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, well above the Clinton rate of 31.4%.
The clearest offset is eviction-process difficulty, at 2/10. 20% 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. Internally this is not one market. Tract scores span 4.2 to 5.4, so two buildings inside the same boundary can carry materially different risk.
The poverty rate is 20%, which shows up in this model as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. Running hot is housing-court posture at 7.2/10. Filings are well documented here: 237 across 3 observed tracts.
Sitting well above the midpoint is tenant-organizing strength at 7.1/10. Filing activity peaked in 2014 at 6.2% of renter households.
Average gross rent is $851, 8% above the Clinton average of $791. Judgments average 2.1% of renter households a year, the share of filings that actually convert to an order.
Rent takes 19% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market. 35% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
Underwrite the address, not the area: with 1.2 points between its best and worst tract, the per-tract table below is the operative number. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
