Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Benson
On the softer side, economic stress reads 1/10. Well under the midpoint, state political climate reads 1.8/10.
The severe-burden share is 12%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment. SNAP participation runs 6.4% against 15.2% nationally.
The filing record is not thin: 401 evictions over 13 years of observation. Food insecurity runs 10.1% against 17.8% nationally.
It sits 0.7 points below the Douglas County average of 3.9. Filings peaked in 2005 at 7.4% of renter households.
In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground A ("Best"). 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 4.5% of renter households face a filing.
Nationally it ranks #63,308 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. Social vulnerability reads 4.1/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.
