Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Montana State University

This is renter territory: 100% of occupied units are tenant-occupied. The main counterweight is supply constraint at 1/10.

Severe burden reaches 27%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. On the softer side, state political climate reads 1.7/10.

The poverty rate is 29%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. It sits 1.7 points above the Gallatin County average of 4.2.

On the high side, economic stress reads 7.3/10. Court records carry 2 eviction filings across 2 observed years.

The worst year on record was 2000, when 0.3% of renter households were served. In a typical year about 0.3% of renter households face a filing.

That is riskier than roughly 77% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 4.9/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.

These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
