Bentonville Eviction Risk: Lower

On the softer side, court filing pressure reads 1.4/10. Severe burden reaches 21%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate.

Well under the midpoint, state political climate reads 1.5/10. The voucher gap is 16.5%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears.

SNAP participation runs 7.3% against 15.2% nationally. On the national scale it lands near the 35th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. Social vulnerability reads 4.8/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.

Against average income of $98,512, annual rent is just 16%. Rent takes 30% or more of income for roughly one in three of renters. It tracks the Benton County average of 3.6 closely.

Average gross rent is $1,294, close to the Bentonville average. 46% of occupied units are renter-occupied.

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.
