Council Bluffs Eviction Risk: Moderate

The clearest offset is eviction-process difficulty at 1.9/10. On the softer side, state political climate reads 2.3/10.

Running cool, supply constraint reads 2.4/10. It sits 1.0 points above the Pottawattamie County average of 4.0. The filing record is not thin: 66 evictions over 4 years of observation.

Average gross rent is $933, 9% below the Council Bluffs average. Filings peaked in 2012 at 6.1% of renter households.

In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground D ("Hazardous"). Redlining cut off mortgage credit to whole blocks for decades, and the areas graded D still carry measurably lower ownership and higher rent burden today. In a typical year about 5.3% of renter households face a filing. That is riskier than roughly 61% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.

Only 25% 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 5.1/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.

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.
