Bigfork Eviction Risk: Lower

Well under the midpoint, eviction-process difficulty reads 1.4/10. Running cool, state political climate reads 1.7/10.

The severe-burden share is 17%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment. SNAP participation runs 2.8% against 15.2% nationally. Against Flathead County at 44.9%, 51% of renters here are cost-burdened.

Housing insecurity runs 4.5% against 14.2% nationally. Against the Flathead County average of 3.8, this tract reads safer for landlords by 0.8 points. On the national scale it lands near the 20th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored.

Only 12% 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 2.9/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.

Of its three components the socioeconomic standing measure is the least pressured. Poverty sits at 3%, low enough that arrears here usually signal a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.

Tract-level figures come from the ACS 5-year release and are rebuilt whenever that, the court-record feed, or the statutory ledger behind the score changes.
