Laramie Ridge is a one-tract neighborhood of Laramie, WY, population 3,695. The Eviction Risk Score is 3/10, in the Lower tier. Cost burden runs 59% against 30.8% citywide, putting Laramie Ridge 28.6% over its own city.
Average gross rent is $1,325, 43% above the Laramie average of $925. The severe-burden share is 34%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay.
The voucher gap is 33.8%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears. The clearest offset is economic stress, at 1.1/10.
On the softer side is rent-regulation exposure, at 1.5/10. On the high side is supply constraint at 8.4/10. That places it #5 of 7 neighborhoods in Laramie.
At 16% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out. For a like-for-like read, West Laramie and West Side score within a fraction of it. Rent takes 13% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market.
Poverty sits at 4%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.
One tract means one number: 3/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
