Northside spans 2 census tracts of Missoula, MT, population 11,446. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 4.3/10, in the Moderate tier. Against a Missoula baseline of 30.0%, 47% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.
23% 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 supply constraint, at 2.4/10. Scores across the 2 constituent tracts range from 3.9 to 4.9. A 1-point internal spread means block-level underwriting beats area-level here.
SNAP participation is 5.6% of households versus 15.2% nationally. Food insecurity affects 8.2% of adults, 9.6 points below the national rate.
That places it #12 of 12 neighborhoods in Missoula. The closest comparables inside the same city are South 39th and Rose Park.
Rent takes 18% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market. Average gross rent runs $1,175, close to the Missoula average. 41% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
For a specific building, read the per-tract breakdown below rather than the 4.3 headline, because the internal range is too wide to average safely. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
