Galway Hills Eviction Risk: Lower

Cost burden runs 61% against 37.0% citywide, putting Galway Hills 23.6% over its own city. The voucher gap is 28.4%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears.

At $1,419 a month, rents sit 30% over what the rest of Iowa City commands. The dominant input is supply constraint at 7.8/10.

Running cool is economic stress, at 2.3/10. Well under the midpoint is rent-regulation exposure, at 2.5/10.

3.8% of adults report being unable to pay a utility bill, below a 9.2% national figure. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two. 3.9% of adults carry no health insurance against 11.3% nationally, a common route into sudden unpayable debt.

That places it #4 of 4 neighborhoods in Iowa City. The closest comparables inside the same city are Walden Hills and Capitol View. Rent takes 14% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market.

37% of occupied units are renter-occupied.

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.
