Northridge Heights maps to a single census tract in Kalispell, MT and houses 2,374 people. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 3.2/10, Lower tier. The severe-burden share is 41%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay.
At $2,286 a month, rents sit 112% over what the rest of Kalispell commands. The voucher gap is 39.5%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears. Pulling the other way is economic stress, at 1/10.
Annualized rent equals 36% of average household income here, past the 30% affordability line, which compresses the margin any screening standard has to work with. On the high side is supply constraint at 8.9/10.
Against a Kalispell baseline of 31.2%, 41% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line. Well under the midpoint is eviction-process difficulty, at 1.3/10. That places it #6 of 7 neighborhoods in Kalispell.
Only 23% 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. Poverty sits at 1%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 3.2/10 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.
