Council Bluffs Eviction Risk: Moderate

The main counterweight is eviction-process difficulty at 1.9/10. Running cool, economic stress reads 2/10.

Severe burden reaches 16%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. On the softer side, state political climate reads 2.3/10.

Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 53 filings here across 4 tracked years. At $929 a month, rents run 10% under what the rest of Council Bluffs commands. The worst year on record was 2013, when 8.0% of renter households were served.

In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground B ("Still Desirable"). 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. In a typical year about 4.8% of renter households face a filing. On the national scale it lands near the 42nd percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored.

On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 6.2/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Against average income of $64,330, annual rent is just 17%. It tracks the Pottawattamie County average of 4.0 closely.

All figures here are ACS 5-year estimates for this tract, refreshed as the underlying releases land.
