Westfield is a one-tract neighborhood of Bozeman, MT, population 3,285. The Eviction Risk Score is 3.1/10, in the Lower tier. 32% 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.
The clearest offset is economic stress, at 1/10. At $2,259 a month, rents sit 32% over what the rest of Bozeman commands. Against a Bozeman baseline of 30.6%, 40% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.
CDC survey data puts housing insecurity at 3.4% of adults, against 14.2% nationally. 2.6% of adults report being unable to pay a utility bill, below a 9.2% national figure. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two.
That places it #12 of 12 neighborhoods in Bozeman. Only 7% 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. The closest comparables inside the same city are Harvest Creek and Norton Ranch.
Against average income of $149,219, annual rent is only 18%, a wide affordability cushion. Poverty sits at 4%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.
One tract means one number: 3.1/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
