CDC Social Vulnerability Index
SVI percentile: 30
CDC/ATSDR 2022. Higher = more vulnerable. National percentile across 84k tracts.
Pulling hardest the other way is rent-regulation exposure at 1/10. Well under the midpoint, economic stress reads 1/10. On the softer side, state political climate reads 1.5/10.
The severe-burden share is 11%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment. It sits 0.6 points below the Minnehaha County average of 3.6. Nationally it ranks #67,219 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty.
Only 20% 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. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 3.7/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Rent consumes only 16% of average household income of $80,729, an unusually wide affordability cushion.
Of its three components the housing type and transport measure is the least pressured. Poverty sits at 3%, low enough that arrears here usually signal a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.
Average gross rent is $1,082, close to the Sioux Falls average.
These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
