Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Creston

What moves this score most is tenant organizing strength at 9.5/10. That part comes from the wider legal climate rather than the tract itself.

In CDC survey modeling, about 5.0% of adults here said they could not pay rent or mortgage at some point in the past year, and 2.5% faced a utility shutoff threat, a common early warning before a filing.

The tract is Asian and White and ranks around the 22nd percentile nationally on the CDC Social Vulnerability Index, a measure of how exposed residents are to housing and economic shocks. That is a relatively low-vulnerability reading.

For a landlord, conditions here are middle-of-the-road. Standard screening and prompt, documented notices usually keep cases short.
