Analysis

What drives eviction risk in University Park

Running cool, state political climate reads 1.5/10. The severe-burden share is 18%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment.

Well under the midpoint, eviction-process difficulty reads 2/10. Cost burden runs 35% here against 42.5% across Pulaski County. The poverty rate is 21%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment.

The voucher gap is 12.3%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears. On the national scale it lands near the 42nd percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored.

Social vulnerability reads 6.5/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks. Of its three components the household composition measure is the least pressured.

It tracks the Pulaski County average of 3.9 closely. Average gross rent is $1,159, close to the Little Rock average. Annual rent works out to 23% of average household income of $59,292.

58% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
