Bentonville Eviction Risk: Lower

Well under the midpoint, economic stress reads 1/10. On the softer side, court filing pressure reads 1.4/10. 39% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, higher than the Benton County average of 30.1%.

The voucher gap is 23.0%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears. SNAP participation runs 6.0% against 15.2% nationally.

Severe burden reaches 8%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. It sits 0.6 points below the Benton County average of 3.6.

That is riskier than roughly 20% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 4.6/10. Against average income of $95,552, annual rent is just 17%.

Of its three components the household composition measure is the least pressured. Poverty sits at 4%, low enough that arrears here usually signal a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. Average gross rent is $1,367, close to the Bentonville 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.
