Wyoming Eviction Risk: Moderate

Wyoming is a one-tract neighborhood of Laramie, WY, population 4,353. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 4.9/10, in the Moderate tier. about half of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, dramatically above the Laramie rate of 30.8%.

Severe burden reaches 26%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. The main counterweight is rent-regulation exposure, at 1.5/10. The poverty rate is 30%, which shows up in this model as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment.

Running hot is economic stress at 7.6/10. The filing record is not thin: 14 evictions logged in this tract.

Well under the midpoint is housing-court posture, at 2.5/10. Filing activity peaked in 2007 at 0.4% of renter households. The most recent observed rate, 0.1% in 2017, is well off that peak.

Among the 7 mapped neighborhoods of Laramie, it ranks #2 by risk, the upper third. Average gross rent runs $883, close to the Laramie average. Annual rent works out to 21% of average household income of $51,181.

55% of occupied units are renter-occupied.

Because the boundary contains one tract, 4.9/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
