Harvest Creek Eviction Risk: Lower

1 census tracts · pop 7,183 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 3.7/10 · range 3.7–3.7

Harvest Creek maps to a single census tract in Bozeman, MT and houses 7,183 people. Scored across those inputs it reaches 3.7/10, placing it in the Lower tier. 53% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, far above the Bozeman rate of 30.6%.

The main counterweight is economic stress, at 1.3/10. 24% 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. CDC survey data puts housing insecurity at 6.5% of adults, against 14.2% nationally.

Food insecurity affects 7.2% of adults, 10.6 points below the national rate. Among the 12 mapped neighborhoods of Bozeman, it ranks #11 by risk, the lower third. Poverty sits at 5%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.

Average gross rent runs $1,702, close to the Bozeman average. Annual rent works out to 21% of average household income of $99,199. 52% of occupied units are renter-occupied.

One tract means one number: 3.7/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
