Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Wyoming
The dominant input is economic stress at 10/10. Set annual rent against average income of $28,236 and the ratio lands at 48%, above the conventional 30% ceiling.
The poverty rate is 42%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. On the softer side, supply constraint reads 1.3/10.
On the high side, court filing pressure reads 8.2/10. It sits 1.4 points above the Philadelphia County average of 6.6. 42% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, below the Philadelphia County average of 49.1%.
At $1,131 a month, rents run 19% under what the rest of Philadelphia commands. The filing record is not thin: 253 evictions over 4 years of observation. The worst year on record was 2011, when 16.9% of renter households were served.
This ground was mapped B ("Still Desirable") on the 1930s HOLC security maps for Philadelphia. That grading determined who could get a mortgage, and its imprint on tenure and rent burden is still visible in the ACS data above. In a typical year about 14.5% of renter households face a filing. Nationally it ranks #7,836 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty.
These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
