Laramie Eviction Risk: Moderate

Running cool, state political climate reads 1.3/10. The poverty rate is 31%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest.

69% of occupied units are rented, so comparables are plentiful and vacancy risk is low, but a mispriced renewal loses the tenant to a building nearby. 20% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears.

On the softer side, rent-regulation exposure reads 1.5/10. At $687 a month, rents run 26% under what the rest of Laramie commands.

It sits 1.0 points above the Albany County average of 4.0. 51% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, higher than the Albany County average of 46.3%.

Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 31 filings here across 12 tracked years. The worst year on record was 2005, when 0.9% of renter households were served. In a typical year about 0.3% of renter households face a filing.

Nationally it ranks #32,842 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. Social vulnerability reads 6.1/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.

Statewide the WY average is 3.6, so this tract runs 1.4 points hotter.

These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
