Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Wellington Heights

Pulling hardest the other way is rent-regulation exposure at 1/10. 23% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. On the softer side, state political climate reads 2.3/10.

Well under the midpoint, economic stress reads 2.4/10. Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 803 filings here across 7 tracked years.

Against the Linn County average of 3.7, this tract reads safer for landlords by 0.6 points. The worst year on record was 2014, when 27.7% of renter households were served.

In a typical year about 19.4% of renter households face a filing. On the national scale it lands near the 22nd percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored.

Only 23% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin; price a renewal off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices. Social vulnerability reads 6.7/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.

Against average income of $84,250, annual rent is just 14%. Of its three components the household composition measure is the most pressured.

Tract-level figures come from the ACS 5-year release and are rebuilt whenever that, the court-record feed, or the statutory ledger behind the score changes.
