Cedar Rapids Eviction Risk: Moderate

Severe burden reaches 16%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. Well under the midpoint, state political climate reads 2.3/10. On the softer side, eviction-process difficulty reads 2.5/10.

The poverty rate is 19%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. 47% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, higher than the Linn County average of 41.7%. Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 241 filings here across 7 tracked years.

Against the Linn County average of 3.7, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 0.9 points. The worst year on record was 2002, when 16.1% of renter households were served. In a typical year about 8.4% of renter households face a filing.

That is riskier than roughly 53% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 8.1/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.
