East Village Eviction Risk: Lower , Des Moines

The clearest offset is rent-regulation exposure at 1/10. Against Polk County at 42.0%, 29% of renters here are cost-burdened.

On the high side, court filing pressure reads 8.2/10. Disability prevalence runs 19.0% against 31.5% nationally. On the softer side, economic stress reads 2.2/10.

9% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. SNAP participation runs 6.7% against 15.2% nationally.

In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground D ("Hazardous"). Redlining cut off mortgage credit to whole blocks for decades, and the areas graded D still carry measurably lower ownership and higher rent burden today. That is riskier than roughly 35% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 2.3/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.

Of its three components the household composition measure is the least 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.
