Riverfront is a one-tract neighborhood of Missoula, MT, population 2,786. The Eviction Risk Score is 4.8/10, in the Moderate tier. 49% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, well above the Missoula rate of 30.0%.
73% of occupied units are rented, so comparables are plentiful and vacancy risk is low, but a mispriced renewal loses the tenant to a building two streets over. Severe burden reaches 23%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. The main counterweight is supply constraint, at 1.7/10.
On the softer side is economic stress, at 2.8/10. SNAP participation is 6.8% of households versus 15.2% nationally.
Food insecurity affects 9.6% of adults, 8.2 points below the national rate. At $1,072 a month, rents sit 10% under what the rest of Missoula commands. That places it #7 of 12 neighborhoods in Missoula.
Annual rent works out to 23% of average household income of $55,250.
One tract means one number: 4.8/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
