Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Kingston Village

What moves this score most is supply constraint at 6.5/10. That part is specific to this tract, computed from its own rent, income, and poverty figures.

Set against its neighbors, this tract scores about the same as 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.

The tract is predominantly White and ranks around the 36th 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.
