Drake Park Eviction Risk: Moderate

The severe-burden share is 34%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. The main counterweight is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10. The poverty rate is 36%, which shows up in this model as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment.

On the high side is economic stress at 8.9/10. 75% 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.

Average gross rent is $880, 19% below the Des Moines average of $1,090. Running cool is supply constraint, at 2.2/10.

The filing record is not thin: 716 evictions logged in this tract. CDC survey data puts housing insecurity at 21.8% of adults, against 14.2% nationally.

Food insecurity affects 29.1% of adults, 11.3 points above the national rate. The worst year on record was 2007, when filings touched 19.4% of renter households.

The most recent observed rate, 8.5% in 2015, is well off that peak. Among the 44 mapped neighborhoods of Des Moines, it ranks #1 by risk, the upper third.

The closest comparables inside the same city are Capitol East and Sherman Hill.

Because the boundary contains one tract, 4.8/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
