Johnston Eviction Risk: Lower

30% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, well below the Polk County average of 42.0%. Sitting well above the midpoint, court filing pressure reads 8.2/10.

Running cool, eviction-process difficulty reads 2/10. Food insecurity runs 5.6% against 17.8% nationally.

Severe burden reaches 10%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. Against the Polk County average of 3.8, this tract reads safer for landlords by 0.8 points.

Adults with no health insurance runs 3.7% against 11.3% nationally. On the national scale it lands near the 20th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored.

Only 8% 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 1.2/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.

Rent consumes only 11% of average household income of $144,813, an unusually wide affordability cushion. Of its three components the socioeconomic standing measure is the least pressured. Poverty sits at 1%, low enough that arrears here usually signal a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.

Average gross rent is $1,361, close to the Johnston average.

All figures here are ACS 5-year estimates for this tract, refreshed as the underlying releases land.
