Analysis

What drives eviction risk in West Side

What moves this score most is eviction process difficulty at $1/10. That part comes from the wider legal climate rather than the tract itself. Statewide and court-level factors such as eviction-process speed and rent-control exposure are inherited from Laramie eviction risk, while the economic and supply signals are measured at the tract level.

Set against its neighbors, this tract scores below the Albany County average of 3.6 and below the Wyoming statewide average of 3.3. Within its own county it reads on the safer side for landlords.

Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 22 eviction filings here over 8 tracked years, with about 1.2% of renter households facing a filing in a typical year. Filings peaked at 3.3% of renter households in 2005.

The tract is White and Hispanic or Latino and ranks around the 53rd percentile nationally on the CDC Social Vulnerability Index, a measure of how exposed residents are to housing and economic shocks. That is a middle-of-the-pack reading for social vulnerability.

For a landlord, this is among the easier places to operate: faster process, lighter tenant-protection overhead, and shorter typical cases.
