Van Buren Eviction Risk: Lower

Against Crawford County at 38.3%, 53% of renters here are cost-burdened. Well under the midpoint, state political climate reads 1.5/10. Running cool, eviction-process difficulty reads 1.6/10.

9% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. At $971 a month, rents run 15% over what the rest of Van Buren commands.

SNAP participation runs 7.3% against 15.2% nationally. It sits 0.6 points below the Crawford County average of 3.6.

On the national scale it lands near the 20th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 3.5/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.

Of its three components the housing type and transport measure is the least pressured. Annual rent works out to 19% of average household income of $61,881. 28% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
