Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Rolla

The dominant input is tenant-organizing strength at 9.6/10. Running hot, housing-court posture reads 8/10. Severe burden reaches 16%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate.

Running cool, state political climate reads 2.1/10. Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 55 filings here across 11 tracked years. SNAP participation runs 8.0% against 15.2% nationally.

Against the Phelps County average of 4.1, this tract reads safer for landlords by 0.7 points. The worst year on record was 2011, when 3.8% of renter households were served. In a typical year about 1.9% of renter households face a filing.

On the national scale it lands near the 29th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. Only 21% 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. Social vulnerability reads 4.4/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.

Rent consumes only 14% of average household income of $70,541, an unusually wide affordability cushion.

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