Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Marshalltown
Severe burden reaches 17%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. Running cool, state political climate reads 2.3/10.
At $1,078 a month, rents run 21% over what the rest of Marshalltown commands. On the softer side, economic stress reads 2.5/10. Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 164 filings here across 12 tracked years.
Cost burden runs 34% here against 29.1% across Marshall County. The voucher gap is 12.5%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears.
Filings peaked in 2010 at 4.7% of renter households. In a typical year about 2.7% of renter households face a filing. That is riskier than roughly 31% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.
Only 22% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin; price a renewal off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 8/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Rent consumes only 17% of average household income of $78,056, an unusually wide affordability cushion.
