Czech Village is a 3-tract neighborhood of Cedar Rapids, IA and houses 10,324 people. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 3.7/10, in the Lower tier. Cost burden runs 46% against 28.0% citywide, putting Czech Village 18.2% over its own city.
The clearest offset is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10. 16% 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 2.5/10.
Filings are well documented here: 909 across 3 observed tracts. Well under the midpoint is tenant-organizing strength, at 2.5/10.
Filing activity peaked in 2014 at 10.0% of renter households. Average gross rent is $877, 9% below the Cedar Rapids average of $967. Recent filings have not receded much: 8.1% in 2015 against a 10.0% peak.
That places it #6 of 8 neighborhoods in Cedar Rapids. Only 28% 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, Wellington Heights and Rompot score within a fraction of it.
Rent takes 16% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market. Its 3 tracts score within 0.4 points of one another, so the area figure travels well to individual addresses.
The area figure travels well to individual addresses here, though the per-tract table below still carries the detail. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
