Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Johnston
93% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, far above the Polk County average of 42.0%. 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. Food insecurity runs 6.0% against 17.8% nationally.
Housing insecurity runs 5.9% against 14.2% nationally. Against the Polk County average of 3.8, this tract reads safer for landlords by 0.8 points. That is riskier than roughly 20% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.
At 3% renter-occupied this is predominantly owner territory, and comps have to be drawn from further out. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 1/10. Of its three components the housing type and transport measure is the least pressured.
Poverty sits at 2%, low enough that arrears here usually signal a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.
These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
