King Irving Eviction Risk: Moderate , Des Moines

roughly three in four of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, far above the Polk County average of 42.0%. SNAP participation runs 45.8% against 15.2% nationally. Pulling hardest the other way is rent-regulation exposure at 1/10.

The poverty rate is 34%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. Annualized rent equals 35% of average household income of $33,182, past the 30% affordability line, which thins the margin any screening standard has to work with.

Sitting well above the midpoint, economic stress reads 8.5/10. On the high side, court filing pressure reads 8.2/10. Against the Polk County average of 3.8, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.0 points.

Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 889 filings here across 10 tracked years. Adults with no health insurance runs 19.4% against 11.3% nationally.

At $955 a month, rents run 12% under what the rest of Des Moines commands. Filings peaked in 2006 at 22.1% of renter households.

Tract-level figures come from the ACS 5-year release and are rebuilt whenever that, the court-record feed, or the statutory ledger behind the score changes.
