Badger Eviction Risk: Lower

26% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, well below the Fairbanks North Star Borough average of 38.7%. On the softer side, local political climate reads 1.8/10. Well under the midpoint, state political climate reads 2.2/10.

Severe burden reaches 8%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. Against the Fairbanks North Star Borough average of 3.8, this tract reads safer for landlords by 0.8 points.

SNAP participation runs 7.6% against 15.2% nationally. Average gross rent is $1,458, 10% below the Badger average.

That is riskier than roughly 20% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. Only 21% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin; price a renewal off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices.

On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 4.6/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Against average income of $105,273, annual rent is just 17%.

Statewide the AK average is 3.9, so this tract runs 0.9 points cooler. Poverty sits at 4%, low enough that arrears here usually signal a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.

All figures here are ACS 5-year estimates for this tract, refreshed as the underlying releases land.
