Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Manville Heights

Cost burden runs 72% here against 49.2% across Johnson County. The score leans hardest on economic stress at 10/10.

The poverty rate is 61%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. Set annual rent against average income of $30,929 and the ratio lands at 44%, above the conventional 30% ceiling. 87% of occupied units are rented, so comparables are plentiful and vacancy risk is low, but a mispriced renewal loses the tenant to a building nearby.

On the softer side, state political climate reads 2.3/10. Against the Johnson County average of 4.1, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.3 points. SNAP participation runs 26.8% against 15.2% nationally.

Well under the midpoint, rent-regulation exposure reads 2.5/10. Food insecurity runs 26.8% against 17.8% nationally.

The filing record is not thin: 44 evictions over 3 years of observation.
