Tree Area Eviction Risk: Moderate

1 census tracts · pop 3,324 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 4.6/10 · range 4.6–4.6

Tree Area is a one-tract neighborhood of Laramie, WY and houses 3,324 people. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 4.6/10, Moderate tier. The severe-burden share is 39%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay.

about half of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, far above the Laramie rate of 30.8%. The clearest offset is rent-regulation exposure, at 1.5/10. This is a renter market: 73% of occupied units are tenant-occupied.

The poverty rate is 25%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest. Running cool is housing-court posture, at 2.5/10.

Court records for this tract carry 17 eviction filings. The worst year on record was 2005, when filings touched 0.2% of renter households. On the softer side is eviction-process difficulty, at 3/10.

Recent filings have not receded much: 0.1% in 2009 against a 0.2% peak. That places it #4 of 7 neighborhoods in Laramie.

For a like-for-like read, Wyoming and Imperial Heights score within a fraction of it.

One tract means one number: 4.6/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
