· range 4.1–4.1
Doling Park maps to a single census tract in Springfield, MO and houses 2,957 people. The Eviction Risk Score is 4.1/10, in the Moderate tier. The clearest offset is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10.
At $717 a month, rents sit 26% under what the rest of Springfield commands. Well under the midpoint is tenant-organizing strength, at 2/10. Cost burden runs 36% against 29.4% citywide, putting Doling Park 6.7% over its own city.
On the softer side is supply constraint, at 2.2/10. Severe burden reaches 10%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears.
That places it #16 of 25 neighborhoods in Springfield. Social vulnerability runs high at 8/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input. Annual rent works out to 23% of average household income of $37,385.
42% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 4.1/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
