Manville Heights Eviction Risk: Moderate

72% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, well clear of the Iowa City rate of 37.0%. The strongest single driver of the headline number is economic stress at 10/10.

The poverty rate is 66%, which shows up in this model as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. Annualized rent equals 48% of average household income here, past the 30% affordability line, which compresses the margin any screening standard has to work with. 91% of occupied units are rented, so comparables are plentiful and vacancy risk is low, but a mispriced renewal loses the tenant to a building two streets over.

On the softer side is rent-regulation exposure, at 2.5/10. Food insecurity affects 30.6% of adults, 12.8 points above the national rate. Court records carry 73 eviction filings across its 2 observed tracts.

14.5% of adults report being unable to pay a utility bill, against a 9.2% national figure. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two. Filing activity peaked in 2005 at 2.3% of renter households.

The most recent observed rate, 0.9% in 2015, is well off that peak. Among the 4 mapped neighborhoods of Iowa City, it ranks #1 by risk, the upper third. For a like-for-like read, Capitol View and Walden Hills score within a fraction of it.

The area figure travels well to individual addresses here, though the per-tract table below still carries the detail. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
