Comparable tracts
Census tracts with similar eviction risk
Within North Hill. Closest by Eviction Risk Score.
What pushes it up most is rent-regulation exposure at 9/10. On the softer side, economic stress reads 1/10. Sitting well above the midpoint, tenant-organizing strength reads 8/10.
13% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. It sits 1.1 points below the King County average of 6.7. The filing record is not thin: 80 evictions over 10 years of observation.
At $1,986 a month, rents run 10% over what the rest of Des Moines commands. The worst year on record was 2006, when 6.0% of renter households were served.
In a typical year about 3.6% of renter households face a filing. That is riskier than roughly 73% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.
At 9% renter-occupied this is predominantly owner territory, and comps have to be drawn from further out. Social vulnerability reads 4.3/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.
These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
