Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Garfield
The clearest offset is court filing pressure at 1.4/10. Running cool, eviction-process difficulty reads 1.4/10.
On the softer side, state political climate reads 1.5/10. Severe burden reaches 8%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. Against the Benton County average of 3.6, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 0.8 points.
SNAP participation runs 7.8% against 15.2% nationally. On the national scale it lands near the 49th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored.
Only 9% 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 3.7/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.
Against average income of $65,341, annual rent is just 16%. Of its three components the household composition measure is the least pressured.
Average gross rent is $879, close to the Garfield average.
Tract-level figures come from the ACS 5-year release and are rebuilt whenever that, the court-record feed, or the statutory ledger behind the score changes.
