Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Kingston Village

The score leans hardest on supply constraint at 4.7/10. That part is specific to this tract, computed from its own rent, income, and poverty figures. Statewide and court-level factors such as eviction-process speed and rent-control exposure are inherited from Cedar Rapids 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 11.8% of adults here said they could not pay rent or mortgage at some point in the past year, and 8.4% faced a utility shutoff threat, a common early warning before a filing.

Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 235 eviction filings here over 7 tracked years, with about 7.1% of renter households facing a filing in a typical year. Filings peaked at 9.2% of renter households in 2015.

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