Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Arkdale
Well under the midpoint, tenant-organizing strength 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, eviction-process difficulty reads 2.4/10.
That is riskier than roughly 29% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. Only 12% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin; price a renewal off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 5.7/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.
Rent takes 30% or more of income for 31% of renters. It tracks the Adams County average of 3.6 closely.
Average gross rent is $825, close to the Arkdale average. Annual rent works out to 21% of average household income of $46,316.
These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
