Lincolnway Village Eviction Risk: Moderate

Lincolnway Village is a one-tract neighborhood of Cedar Rapids, IA, population 4,412. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 4.5/10, in the Moderate tier. Cost burden runs 41% against 28.0% citywide, putting Lincolnway Village 12.7% over its own city.

Pulling the other way is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10. Severe burden reaches 14%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. Running cool is eviction-process difficulty, at 2.5/10.

Well under the midpoint is tenant-organizing strength, at 2.5/10. The poverty rate is 18%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest.

That places it #2 of 8 neighborhoods in Cedar Rapids. The closest comparables inside the same city are Kingston Village and Oak Hill Jackson. Social vulnerability runs high at 8.9/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input.

Rent takes 18% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market. Average gross rent runs $926, close to the Cedar Rapids average. 51% of occupied units are renter-occupied.

Because the boundary contains one tract, 4.5/10 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.
