Springvale Eviction Risk: Lower

1 census tracts · pop 6,519 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 3.5/10 · range 3.5–3.5

Springvale is a one-tract neighborhood of Belgrade, MT and houses 6,519 people. The Eviction Risk Score is 3.5/10, in the Lower tier. 46% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, well above the Belgrade rate of 28.6%.

What pushes the score up most is tenant-organizing strength at 8.7/10. Running cool is eviction-process difficulty, at 1.6/10.

Well under the midpoint is economic stress, at 2/10. CDC survey data puts housing insecurity at 6.1% of adults, against 14.2% nationally.

Court records for this tract carry 3 eviction filings. 11% 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. Food insecurity affects 6.7% of adults, 11.1 points below the national rate.

The worst year on record was 2002, when filings touched 0.9% of renter households. Only 15% 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.

For a like-for-like read, Main Street and Prescott Ranch score within a fraction of it. Average gross rent runs $1,881, close to the Belgrade average.

Annual rent works out to 21% of average household income of $105,114.

One tract means one number: 3.5/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
