Waukee Eviction Risk: Lower

Disability prevalence runs 17.9% against 31.5% nationally. Well under the midpoint, eviction-process difficulty reads 2.2/10. Running cool, state political climate reads 2.3/10.

SNAP participation runs 4.9% against 15.2% nationally. Against the Dallas County average of 4.0, this tract reads safer for landlords by 1.0 points.

Average gross rent is $1,211, 12% below the Waukee average. Nationally it ranks #67,219 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty.

Only 20% 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. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 2.7/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Rent consumes only 11% of average household income of $136,566, an unusually wide affordability cushion.

Of its three components the socioeconomic standing measure is the least pressured. Poverty sits at 6%, low enough that arrears here usually signal a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. Rent takes 30% or more of income for 31% of renters.

Tract-level figures come from the ACS 5-year release and are rebuilt whenever that, the court-record feed, or the statutory ledger behind the score changes.
