Sunnyside is a one-tract neighborhood of Great Falls, MT and houses 3,882 people. Scored across those inputs it reaches 3.7/10, placing it in the Lower tier. Cost burden runs 49% against 28.2% citywide, putting Sunnyside 21.2% over its own city.
The clearest offset is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10. On the softer side is tenant-organizing strength, at 1.5/10. 16% are severely burdened, paying half their income or more in rent. That cohort has no absorption capacity for an unexpected bill, and it is where non-payment filings originate.
Well under the midpoint is eviction-process difficulty, at 2/10. Average gross rent is $960, 7% above the Great Falls average of $900. That places it #3 of 8 neighborhoods in Great Falls.
Social vulnerability runs high at 8.4/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input. Annual rent works out to 20% of average household income of $57,500. 42% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 3.7/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
