Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Hiawatha
The score leans hardest on tenant organizing strength at 6.8/10. That part comes from the wider legal climate rather than the tract itself. Statewide and court-level factors such as eviction-process speed and rent-control exposure are inherited from Hiawatha eviction risk, while the economic and supply signals are measured at the tract level.
Set against its neighbors, this tract scores above the Linn County average of 4.7 and above the Iowa statewide average of 4.3. Within its own county it reads on the riskier side for landlords.
In CDC survey modeling, about 11.1% of adults here said they could not pay rent or mortgage at some point in the past year, and 8.3% faced a utility shutoff threat, a common early warning before a filing.
Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 442 eviction filings here over 7 tracked years, with about 6.2% of renter households facing a filing in a typical year. Filings peaked at 7.9% of renter households in 2013.
For a landlord, conditions here are middle-of-the-road. Standard screening and prompt, documented notices usually keep cases short.
