Johnston Eviction Risk: Lower

The clearest offset is economic stress at 1/10. Running hot, court filing pressure reads 8.2/10.

On the softer side, eviction-process difficulty reads 2/10. Adults with no health insurance runs 3.5% against 11.3% nationally.

Against the Polk County average of 3.8, this tract reads safer for landlords by 0.8 points. The voucher gap is 12.3%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears. Inability to pay a utility bill runs 4.1% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two.

On the national scale it lands near the 20th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. At 24% renter-occupied this is predominantly owner territory, and comps have to be drawn from further out. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 1.3/10.

Rent consumes only 9% of average household income of $192,386, an unusually wide affordability cushion. Of its three components the socioeconomic standing measure is the least pressured.

Poverty sits at 3%, low enough that arrears here usually signal a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.
