Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Wyoming

Against Kent County at 43.7%, 63% of renters here are cost-burdened. What pushes it up most is court filing pressure at 9.2/10.

Running cool, supply constraint reads 2.1/10. It sits 1.4 points above the Kent County average of 4.2.

The poverty rate is 20%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. On the softer side, eviction-process difficulty reads 2.7/10.

Average gross rent is $1,025, 14% below the Wyoming average. In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground C ("Definitely Declining"). 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. On the national scale it lands near the 73rd percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored.

On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 8.6/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Statewide the MI average is 4.2, so this tract runs 1.4 points hotter. Of its three components the household composition measure is the most pressured.

These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
