20% are severely burdened, paying half their income or more in rent. That cohort has no absorption capacity for an unexpected bill, and it is where non-payment filings originate. Running cool is tenant-organizing strength, at 1.5/10.
The voucher gap is 15.0%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears. Average gross rent is $1,185, 14% above the Sioux Falls average of $1,035.

With little internal variation, 3.7/10 is a fair proxy for any address inside the boundary. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
