Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Kenwood Park

The score leans hardest on economic stress at 3.3/10. 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.

In CDC survey modeling, about 10.6% of adults here said they could not pay rent or mortgage at some point in the past year, and 7.6% faced a utility shutoff threat, a common early warning before a filing.

Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 297 eviction filings here over 7 tracked years, with about 10.9% of renter households facing a filing in a typical year. Filings peaked at 16.2% of renter households in 2006.

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