Sweet Home Eviction Risk: Elevated

Pulling hardest the other way is supply constraint at 2.5/10. Sitting well above the midpoint, tenant-organizing strength reads 7.4/10.

Running hot, state political climate reads 7.2/10. Court records carry 871 eviction filings across 16 observed years.

Average gross rent is $1,094, 10% below the Sweet Home average. The worst year on record was 2005, when 19.3% of renter households were served.

In a typical year about 9.1% of renter households face a filing. On the national scale it lands near the 80th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored.

Social vulnerability reads 6.1/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks. Rent consumes only 17% of average household income of $76,936, an unusually wide affordability cushion. Of its three components the housing type and transport measure is the most pressured.

Rent takes 30% or more of income for 45% of renters. It tracks the Linn County average of 5.7 closely.
