Wadsworth Park Eviction Risk: Lower

1 census tracts · pop 2,094 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 3/10 · range 3–3

Wadsworth Park is a one-tract neighborhood of Great Falls, MT, population 2,094. Scored across those inputs it reaches 3/10, placing it in the Lower tier. Against a Great Falls baseline of 28.2%, 15% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.

The clearest offset is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10. Well under the midpoint is economic stress, at 1.3/10.

On the softer side is tenant-organizing strength, at 1.5/10. At $1,034 a month, rents sit 15% over what the rest of Great Falls commands.

SNAP participation is 7.1% of households versus 15.2% nationally. That places it #6 of 8 neighborhoods in Great Falls.

Only 18% 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. Rent takes 19% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market.

Poverty sits at 5%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.

Because the boundary contains one tract, 3/10 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.
