Mondamin Presidential is a one-tract neighborhood of Des Moines, IA, population 3,494. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 4.8/10, in the Moderate tier. The severe-burden share is 42%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay.
Against a Des Moines baseline of 29.6%, 86% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line. What pushes the score up most is economic stress at 10/10.
The poverty rate is 40%, which shows up in this model as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. Food insecurity affects 43.0% of adults, 25.2 points above the national rate. Running cool is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10.
22.2% of adults report being unable to pay a utility bill, against a 9.2% national figure. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two. The filing record is not thin: 348 evictions logged in this tract. Well under the midpoint is eviction-process difficulty, at 2.5/10.
Filing activity peaked in 2014 at 11.6% of renter households. Recent filings have not receded much: 7.5% in 2015 against a 11.6% peak. That places it #1 of 44 neighborhoods in Des Moines.
Social vulnerability runs high at 9.8/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input. Average gross rent runs $1,092, close to the Des Moines average. Annual rent works out to 31% of average household income of $42,740.
One tract means one number: 4.8/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
