West Laramie Eviction Risk: Lower

The clearest offset is rent-regulation exposure, at 1.5/10. Severe burden reaches 23%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. Well under the midpoint is economic stress, at 1.7/10.

Court records carry 61 eviction filings across its 2 observed tracts. Running cool is housing-court posture, at 2.5/10. The worst year on record was 2009, when filings touched 2.6% of renter households.

The most recent observed rate, 0.6% in 2017, is well off that peak. That places it #5 of 7 neighborhoods in Laramie.

Only 27% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin here; price renewals off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices. For a like-for-like read, West Side and Laramie Ridge score within a fraction of it.

Against average income of $88,319, annual rent is only 13%, a wide affordability cushion. Poverty sits at 7%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.

The 2 tracts here are tightly clustered, 0 points apart at the extremes.

With little internal variation, 3/10 is a fair proxy for any address inside the boundary. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
