Bigfork Eviction Risk: Lower

The severe-burden share is 24%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment. On the softer side, eviction-process difficulty reads 1.4/10.

Cost burden runs 54% here against 44.9% across Flathead County. Running cool, supply constraint reads 1.6/10.

SNAP participation runs 6.1% against 15.2% nationally. Food insecurity runs 8.9% against 17.8% nationally.

It sits 0.8 points below the Flathead County average of 3.8. Nationally it ranks #67,219 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty.

Only 11% 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 4/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.

Against average income of $78,786, annual rent is just 17%. Poverty sits at 4%, 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.
