Lewis & Clark Eviction Risk: Moderate

1 census tracts · pop 5,260 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 5.7/10 · range 5.7–5.7

Lewis & Clark maps to a single census tract in Missoula, MT and houses 5,260 people. Scored across those inputs it reaches 5.7/10, placing it in the Moderate tier. Cost burden runs 52% against 30.0% citywide, putting Lewis & Clark 21.7% over its own city.

29% 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. Pulling the other way is supply constraint, at 1.4/10.

The poverty rate is 19%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest. Average gross rent is $1,032, 13% below the Missoula average of $1,189. Among the 12 mapped neighborhoods of Missoula, it ranks #1 by risk, the upper third.

Annual rent works out to 24% of average household income of $51,591. 56% of occupied units are renter-occupied.

One tract means one number: 5.7/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
